ARTERIAL HEMOSHIELD DEVICE FOR ARTERIAL BLOOD DRAW AND RELATED METHODS
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18677611 titled 'ARTERIAL HEMOSHIELD DEVICE FOR ARTERIAL BLOOD DRAW AND RELATED METHODS
Original Abstract Submitted
An arterial catheter system may include a catheter assembly, which may include a catheter adapter. The arterial catheter system may include an arterial catheter extending from a distal end of the catheter adapter. The arterial catheter system may include a needle assembly, which may include a needle hub and an introducer needle. The arterial catheter system may include an arterial hemoshield device coupled to the catheter assembly. The arterial catheter system may include a fluid pathway within the arterial catheter, the catheter adapter, and the arterial hemoshield device. A first fluidic resistance within a portion of the fluid pathway within the arterial hemoshield device may be greater than a second fluidic resistance within the fluid pathway distal to the portion of the fluid pathway.
