The device comes with design enhancements to attain compatibility with integrated and long peripheral IV catheters, including the new Nexiva Closed IV Catheter System with NearPort V Access.
This builds upon PIVO’s existing compatibility with traditional short peripheral IV catheters introduced in 2017.
With the capacity to draw blood samples directly from a patient’s peripheral IV line using PIVO Pro, the new solution integrates the clinical benefits demonstrated by the integrated closed Nexiva Catheter System.
These benefits include reduced catheter complications and longer dwell times.
