Abstract
An apparatus for performing phlebotomy through a peripheral intravenous line. The apparatus includes an introducer and a catheter configured to advance the catheter through a peripheral intravenous line. A y-adapter with a port of larger diameter is configured to receive the catheter and place in fluid communication with the peripheral intravenous line. When advanced the catheter is configured to transport a bodily fluid (i.e. blood) to a volume outside of the body.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an introducer coupleable to a peripheral intravenous line, the peripheral intravenous line being at least partially insertable into a vein of a patient;
- and
- a catheter movable from a first position inside the introducer and outside the peripheral intravenous line to a second position at least partially outside the introducer and extending through the peripheral intravenous line, a proximal end of the catheter disposed in the introducer when the catheter is in the first position and the second position.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an introducer coupleable to a peripheral intravenous line, the peripheral intravenous line being at least partially insertable into a vein of a patient;
- and
- a catheter movable between a first position inside the introducer and proximal to the peripheral intravenous line and a second position at least partially outside the introducer such that a distal end of the catheter is distal to the peripheral intravenous line, a proximal end of the catheter disposed in the introducer and proximal to the peripheral intravenous line when the catheter is in the second position.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an introducer coupleable to an adapter connected to a port of a peripheral intravenous line that is at least partially insertable into a vein of a patient;
- and
- a catheter movable between a first position inside the introducer and proximal to the adapter and a second position partially outside the introducer, a portion of the catheter in the second position extendable through the adapter and the peripheral intravenous line to place a distal end of the catheter distal to the peripheral intravenous line, a proximal end of the catheter in the second position disposed in the introducer and proximal to the adapter.
