VelanoVascular PIVO - Needle-free, Single-use, Blood Collection Sterile Device
PIVO is a needle-free, single-use, sterile device that temporarily attaches to a peripheral IV catheter to collect a fresh venous sample. Using the existing PIV line as a conduit to the vein, a flexible, internal flow tube is advanced through the PIV, beyond the catheter tip, and into the vessel to collect a blood sample. This flow tube is designed to extend beyond the suboptimal draw conditions around the IV to reach vessel locations where blood flow is optimal for aspiration. Once blood collection is complete, the device is retracted, removed from the PIV, and discarded.
PIVO is a revolutionary solution to age-old challenges with needle sticks and line draws. High quality lab draws from indwelling peripheral IV lines are finally possible.
Reducing Pain
Patient experience is positively impacted through reduced instances of pain, bruising, and the downward spiral associated with repeat needle sticks during hospitalization.
Engineered for Safety
Designed with healthcare practitioners in mind, PIVO is needle-free.
Reliable
Delivers accurate samples for timely diagnosis – the first time.
Innovative
Elegantly employing existing IV lines to access the vein.
