Safety and accuracy for your smallest patients, designed to meet the volumecritical requirements of pediatric patients
Smaller 3 cc reservoir optimizes clearing volumes, providing undiluted, accurate blood samples
Graduated “cc” markings aid in selecting appropriate clearing volume for each patient
Special contamination hood helps reduce infection risk
Variety of tubing lengths to accommodate patient size requirements
Edwards Lifesciences' VAMP closed blood sampling systems incorporate an inline reservoir that allows clinicians to reinfuse rather than discard the clearing volume to minimize blood loss during sampling. Needleless VAMP systems are designed to reduce infection, needle sticks, and blood waste associated with conventional blood sampling methods. 14
