1. Dual Lumen Peripheral IV Catheter Riley Smith Kelly Baron, Erik Frazier Project Mentor: Sandra Gartner 2/1/2005

2. Significance Most patients admitted to a hospital for an extended stay are in need of frequent blood draws Each time blood is taken, the patient’s arm must be pricked with a blood draw needle Pain and discomfort from frequent blood draws are listed as one of the top complaints from patients (Press-Ganey Scores)

3. Products on Market Central Line Catheter (Dual Lumen) Needs to be inserted by Surgeon or IV team Easy to draw fluid from Peripheral Catheter (Single Lumen) Can be inserted by Critical Care Nurses One way valve Difficult/Impossible to draw blood while administering fluids

4. Goals To design a device that allows blood to easily be drawn from a peripheral IV catheter simultaneous to the administration of fluids The device should be as easy as possible to insert (no need for an IV team) Less costly then current dual lumen IV catheters on market

5. Design Use the same style of needle as single lumen for insertion Have an additional lumen on the same catheter Dedicated port for blood drawing (distal) and infusion (proximal) Openings of lumen are far enough apart to avoid contamination – distance yet to be determined

6. Accomplishments Looking for Labs to test device Looking into Prototyping/Fabrication Rough SolidWorks drawing of the part

7. Milestones Determine Testing Procedures (2/4) Find Testing Lab (2/7) Finish SolidWorks drawing (2/10) Send files out for prototyping/fabrication (2/13) Begin Testing (2/17) Finish Testing (2/30)

8. Any Questions?
