    摘要: An apparatus includes a catheter, a housing configured to house at least a portion of the catheter, and an actuator movably coupled to the housing. The housing has a first port configured to receive a proximal end portion of the catheter and a second port configured to couple the housing to an indwelling vascular access device. A portion of the actuator is disposed within the housing and is configured to be movably coupled to a portion of the catheter. The actuator is configured to be moved a first distance to move a distal end portion of the catheter a second distance greater than the first distance from a first position to a second position. The distal end portion of the catheter is disposed within the housing when in the first position and is distal to the indwelling vascular access device when in the second position.

    摘要: An apparatus (200), comprising: a catheter (260) having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion; an introducer (210) configured to receive the catheter, the introducer having an outer surface forming a plurality of ribs (236), a distal end portion of the introducer configured to be coupled to an indwelling peripheral intravenous line; and an actuator (270) coupled to the catheter and extending through a slot defined by the introducer such that a portion (271) of the actuator is in contact with at least one rib from the plurality of ribs, the actuator configured to be moved relative to the introducer to move the catheter between a first position in which the catheter is disposed in the introducer and a second position in which the distal end portion of the catheter is disposed beyond at least a portion of the indwelling peripheral intravenous line when the introducer is coupled to the indwelling peripheral intravenous line, the portion of the actuator configured to move along at least a portion of the ribs from the plurality of ribs as the actuator moves the catheter between the first position and the second position to provide to a user a haptic output associated with a position of the catheter.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a catheter, an introducer, and an actuator. A distal end portion of the introducer is configured to be coupled to a peripheral intravenous line. The introducer defines an inner volume having a first portion that defines an axis parallel to and offset from an axis defined by a second portion. A first portion of the actuator is movably disposed in the first portion of the inner volume. A second portion of the actuator is movably disposed in the second portion of the inner volume and coupled to the catheter movably disposed in the second portion of the inner volume. The actuator moves the catheter between a first position, in which the catheter is disposed within the introducer, and a second position, in which at least a portion of the catheter is disposed within the peripheral intravenous line.
