Dual Port Peripheral IV Catheter Kelly Baron Erik Frazier and Riley Smith Project Mentors: Sandra Gartner and Vorp Labs February 22, 2005

Significance 90% of hospitalized patients are in need of an IV catheter for fluid delivery Although there are dual lumen peripheral catheters available on the market, they are rarely used Cost Size and Specialists Complexity IV teams and surgeons Time Therefore, single port catheters are used and patients in need of fluids and blood draws must be pricked each time blood is taken

Our Goal To develop a cost-efficient, user friendly device that will allow for simultaneous fluid delivery/draws However, must stop fluids and flush lines to prevent contamination/clotting Will not be used in ER or ICU patients Stopping IV and flushing will prolong delivery of fluids such as those used for resuscitation Will target patients experiencing minor complications or undergoing minor procedures

Dual Port IV Catheter Design ~ 1.25”

Components for Preliminary Fabrication ~ 1.5”

Personal Focus Correspondence with Vorp Laboratories, Swanson Center and Nursing School In process of ordering needles for testing MUST have form filled out by M.D.? Update Design History File Helped put specs on Riley’s SolidWorks file All group members help complete major milestones

Accomplishments to Date Finalized preliminary design Met with Andy @ Swanson Center to discuss fabrication – can easily be done In process of ordering needles for fabrication/testing

Work To Do Finalize needle order Preliminary product fabrication Testing specifications Order “dummy” arm? Establish testing facilities Vorp Labs? Final product fabrication and testing

Milestones 3/4/05 3/14/05 End of March Beginning of April Working rapid prototype or on order 3/14/05 Preliminary Testing End of March Final Prototype Beginning of April Testing
