  1. Dual Lumen Peripheral IV CatheterRiley SmithKelly Baron, Erik FrazierProject Mentor: Sandra Gartner2/1/2005

  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)
