Teleflex has announced it has received FDA clearance for its ARROW peripherally inserted central catheter preloaded with the ARROW VPS Vascular Positioning System stylet, according to a news release.
The ARROW VPS system is designed to replace the need for confirmatory chest X-ray by using intravascular Doppler, ECG and advanced algorithmic logic to notify a physician that a catheter tip has reached its optimal location, according to the company. The preloaded option is intended to improve vascular navigation and catheter tip positioning.
"We are dedicated to providing technologies for clinicians who strive to make zero complications in vascular care a reality," said Paul Molloy, president, vascular division of Teleflex, in the release. "Providing clinicians with the ARROW VPS stylet preloaded into the ARROW PICC is one of a series of new product introductions that demonstrates our continuous commitment to reducing vascular access complications and improving ease of use for clinicians."
Teleflex is headquartered in Limerick, Pa.
