Closed blood sampling
Effective patient blood management
VAMP adult system
To minimize blood loss during sampling, Edwards Lifesciences' VAMP closed blood sampling systems incorporate an in-line reservoir that allows clinicians to reinfuse rather than discard the clearing volume. Needleless VAMP systems are designed to reduce infection, needle sticks, and blood waste associated with conventional blood sampling methods.1-4
Safe, simple and reliable closed blood sampling for effective patient blood management.
- VAMP adult system is designed to reduce infection and blood waste associated with traditional blood sampling
- 5 cc reservoir designed for safe and convenient blood sampling in environments where close proximity to the patient is desired
- For use with disposable pressure transducers and for connection to central line catheters and arterial catheters
- Versatile design can be pole mounted on a backplate or used as an arm mount
- Z-site self-sealing sample port reduces blood buildup for collection of undiluted samples and improves infection control compared to traditional sampling methods
