Overview
- 8.5 Fr diameter, 6.5 cm long infusion catheter
- Designed to be exchanged through a 20-gauge PIV via Seldinger technique
- Can achieve flow rates >600 ml/min with pressure (higher than a sheath introducer or 14-gauge PIV]][1]
Indications
- Vascular access
- Rapid large-volume fluid or blood administration
Contraindications
Equipment Needed
- Arrow brand RIC set
