6.5Fr OD (5Fr ID) 70cm Option TM Vena Cava Filter System Up to 32mm Each 352506070<br />

The <strong>Argon</strong> Option TM IVC Filter is used for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism.<br />

Designed for both permanent and retrievable IVC Filter placement, the <strong>Argon</strong> Option TM IVC Filter offers the safety and<br />

stability required for permanent placement coupled with proven long term retrievability.<br />

Suitable for caval diameters up to 32mm, with no minimal caval restrictions, and deployed via a 6.5Fr OD (5Fr ID) x 70cm<br />

low-profile delivery sheath with infusion port, Option’s precise placement is aided by the use of an innovative over-thewire<br />

curved pusher system.<br />

The spiral coiled sheath provides increased column strength and kink-resistance for ease of tracking, pushability, and<br />

delivery.<br />

Dilator, with 32mm spaced radiopaque markers for rapid vena cava measurement and helix formation end-holes compatible<br />

with power injectors up to 800 psi.<br />

Single, colour coded filter cartridge for Femoral or Jugular placement.<br />

Durable, one piece design of filter reduces the risk of fracture caused by bending stress 2 .<br />

Resilient, electropolished, nitinol hypotube filter construction improves resistance to fracture caused by cyclic stress 1 .<br />

The transitionless and sturdy design of the hook allows for ease of snaring and reduced risk of hook deformation during<br />

retrieval.<br />

The stable filter base conforms to the caval anatomy, reducing caval penetration 3 and aids in centering the filter whilst<br />

innovative retention anchors are designed to prevent caudal and cephalid migration.<br />

These curved, non-flexible anchors reduce caval wall penetration and provide the balance between stability and retrievability.<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> UltraStream TM Chronic Dialysis Catheters are indicated for Haemodialysis and Apheresis.<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> UltraStream TM patented, dual independent arterial lumen design provide high flow rates of 500ml/min and allow for<br />

continued functional dialysis should infusion be restricted to one arterial lumen. Dual arterial lumens also reduce the risk<br />

of catheter ‘side walling’. The unique, transitionless, modified-tip design facilitates atraumatic over-the-wire insertion for<br />

‘first-time’ or ‘Exchange’ insertions, without requirement for a peel-away sheath. Shortened length between distal lumens<br />

allows for more accurate tip placement whilst achieving zero recirculation rates during normal flow 1 . Kink resistant Carbothane ®<br />

catheter material provides strength for catheter longevity and softness for patient comfort. The Carbothane ® thermo-sensitive<br />

biocompatible material is radiopaque for increased visibility whilst being resistant to iodine and alcohol degradation. Durable<br />

luer catheter connectors with easy-to-read printed priming volumes are ergonomically designed to withstand multiple<br />

connections and compatible with a broad spectrum of cleansing agents, thereby reducing the risk of cracking. 1 Data on file<br />

<strong>Argon</strong>1Stic TM Micro-Introducers with integrated sidearm are designed to support smaller puncture site access for both arterial and<br />

venous procedures allowing the physician to insert an introducer utilising micro-puncture technology.<br />

Shorter sheath (5.75cm) versions designed for venous procedures in the neck or arm, the smooth transition between introducer sheath<br />

and dilator provides atraumatic, low-profile insertion, minimising the risk of vessel trauma and catheter peelback. The 1Stic TM micro tapered<br />

dilator transitions from 0.5Fr (for 0.018’’ micro-access guidewire) to maximum French size whilst the Flex Collar, with Suture Tab,<br />

reduces kinking risk and provides a convenient suture site.<br />

The siliconised valve and dilator facilitates ease of insertion and low insertion torque whilst the positive twist-lock dilator assembly<br />

prevents dilator push-back during insertion. The 3-Part hemostasis Valve of the <strong>Argon</strong> 1Stic TM catheter prevents bleed-back by effectively<br />

sealing around the inserted wire and catheter.<br />

Radiopaque Pebax (Polyether Block Amide) sheath material with clear PVC sideport tubing, these introducer sets are available with a<br />

choice of Stainless Steel or Nitinol/Platinum guidewires, along with Echogenic introducer needle option, for increased visibility under<br />

Fluoroscopy and Ultrasound, whilst the 4Fr-8Fr introducer sizes allow for multiple device exchanges during procedure.<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> MicroStic TM Micro–Introducer, double dilator systems are designed to support smaller puncture site access for<br />

arterial applications and left heart procedures.<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> MicroStic TM Micro-Introducer systems eliminate the need to dilate up using multiple dilators and result in a tight<br />

seal around catheter by the vessel. A seamless transition between introducer sheath and dilator enablies a smooth, lowprofile<br />

insertion, thereby minimising the risk of vessel trauma and catheter peelback.<br />

Introducer sets are available with a choice of Stainless Steel, Nitinol/Platinum or Nitinol/Stainless guidewires, along with<br />

Echogenic introducer needle option, for increased visibility under Fluoroscopy and Ultrasound. The positive twist-lock dilator<br />

assembly prevents dilator push-back during insertion.<br />

4Fr introducer: inner and outer dilators made from radiopaque Pebax (Polyether Block Amide) sheath material.<br />

An innovative approach to risk management:<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> Hydrocath Assure TM is a range of single, double and triple lumen polyurethane central venous catheters, designed<br />

for catheterisation by the Seldinger technique.<br />

Every catheter is coated with a hydrophilic substance activated by biological fluids, which facilitates the insertion of the<br />

catheter and reduces the potential adhesion of bacteria or formation of thrombus.<br />

In addition, the Hydromer hydrophilic matrix is impregnated with the antimicrobial agent Benzalkonium Chloride (BZC).<br />

BZC is bactericidal against a broad spectrum of microorganisms which are known to colonise central venous catheters.<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> Hydrocath Assure TM has been proven to reduce bacterial colonisation of catheters in critically ill patients 1 .<br />

Description<br />

All of the above sets contain:<br />

BZC impregnated and hydrophilic coated polyurethane catheter, <strong>Argon</strong> VenaGuide TM Seldinger wire advancing system with NiTiNol guidewire, needle<br />

introducer, vein dilator, secondary fixation device as shown and luer lock plugs.<br />

All sets without <strong>Argon</strong> Floswitch TM contain a cannula introducer, needle introducer, sliding clamps and 5ml syringe.<br />

All <strong>Argon</strong> Floswitch TM sets include an <strong>Argon</strong> Floswitch TM revolving Luer-Lok TM system, <strong>Argon</strong> Floswitch TM cannula introducer and needle introducer.<br />

Disposable Pressure Transducer<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> DTX Plus TM Disposable Pressure Transducer Sets<br />

Designed for ease of use and minimal wavelength distortion<br />

Haemodynamic monitoring information is used to manage the care of critically ill patients. It is therefore essential that you are<br />

confident about the accuracy of the information that you are using. Fluid filled pressure monitoring systems will cause some<br />

distortion to the pressure waveform. Up to 40% distortion has been shown in some cases. 1<br />

Accuracy in pressure monitoring isn’t just dependent on the transducer, it’s dependent on all the components in the pressure<br />

monitoring system; catheter, pressure tubing, monitor filter and stopcocks. It has been shown 2 that in order to know the accuracy<br />

of your system, you need to consider the performance of the total chain where all the components are linked together.<br />

As a manufacturer we believe we have a responsibility to provide you with<br />

PRESSURE OUT<br />

information about the accuracy of the whole monitoring system, not just the PRESSURE IN<br />

TESTED SET<br />

transducer. Therefore, <strong>Argon</strong> has selected a range of standard <strong>Argon</strong> DTX<br />

GABARITH<br />

The <strong>Argon</strong> Gabarith TM test assesses the system against pre-set windows of error<br />

(2%, 5% and 10% waveform distortion). For example: If the dynamic response<br />

of a pressure chain falls within the 10% Gabarith window then we know the<br />

pressure waveform will not be distorted by more than 10%. 3<br />

Windows of tolerance are based on catheter tip sensor results (the ’gold’ standard) using real patient data.<br />

Every box of <strong>Argon</strong> DTX Plus TM pressure monitoring sets is stamped with the <strong>Argon</strong> Gabarith TM symbol. This shows that the set<br />

has passed the <strong>Argon</strong> Gabarith TM test and has a known level of accuracy. The <strong>Argon</strong> Gabarith TM test exceeds the demands of<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> Safedraw TM Safe Arterial Sampling<br />

Disposable Transducer Sets<br />

Sterile, single use<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> Safedraw TM safe arterial blood sampling systems significantly reduce unnecessary blood discard and blood spillage,<br />

thereby reducing the risk of iatrogenic anaemia and cross contamination to patients and staff. The system’s easy-to-use,<br />

self-sealing, silicone septum facilitates easier blood sampling and superior clinical samples, thereby achieving more reliable<br />

laboratory values.<br />

The Safedraw TM core-resistant septum helps to minimise exposure to pathogens by preventing non-sterile contact with the<br />

fluid path whilst enabling the taking of multiple samples. Unique <strong>Argon</strong> Gabarith TM testing of Safedraw TM sets, using total<br />

haemodynamic chain concept, offers the opportunity for improved haemodynamic accuracy.<br />

Available in Single, Double, Triple and <strong>Argon</strong> ‘Flexi’ Disposable Transducer configurations, with Adult and Paediatric options,<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> Safedraw-P TM Safe Arterial Sampling<br />

Disposable Transducer Sets<br />

Sterile, single use<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> Safedraw-P TM arterial blood sampling systems are a unique range of invasive pressure monitoring sets designed for<br />

closed loop, safe arterial blood sampling procedures.<br />

Whole blood samples are collected via direct luer-slip access into the unique Safedraw-P TM split-septum blood sampling<br />

port, thereby negating the need for blood sampling adapters. The Safedraw-P TM blood sampling port is either integrated<br />

directly into the tubing, or as an integral part of the special three-way sampling stopcock.<br />

Safedraw-P TM safe arterial blood sampling systems significantly reduce unnecessary blood discard and blood spillage, thereby<br />

reducing the risk of iatrogenic anaemia and cross contamination to patients and staff. The system’s direct luer-slip access<br />

design facilitates easier blood sampling and superior clinical samples, thereby achieving more reliable laboratory values.<br />

Disposable Transducer Sets<br />

Sterile, single use<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> DTX Plus TM Paediatric and Neonatal Transducer Systems are a range of ‘Standard’ and ‘Closed loop’ Safedraw TM and<br />

Safedraw-P TM safe arterial blood sampling invasive pressure monitoring sets specifically designed with the Paediatric and<br />

Neonatal patient in mind. Whole blood samples are collected in the ‘closed-loop’ Safedraw TM and Safedraw-P TM sets either<br />

via the Safedraw TM self-sealing silicone septum or via direct luer-slip access into the unique Safedraw-P TM split-septum<br />

blood sampling port. Safedraw TM and Safedraw-P TM safe arterial blood sampling systems significantly reduce unnecessary<br />

blood discard and facilitate the safe return of diluted blood back to the infant, thereby safely conserving blood volume whilst<br />

reducing the risk of iatrogenic anaemia and cross contamination. The system’s design facilitates easier blood sampling and<br />

superior clinical samples, thereby achieving more reliable laboratory values.<br />

Unique <strong>Argon</strong> Gabarith TM testing of these Paediatric and Neonatal sets, using total haemodynamic chain concept, offers the<br />

opportunity for improved haemodynamic accuracy. Configured for use with an Infusion Pump, <strong>Argon</strong> DTX Plus TM Paediatric<br />

and Neonatal Transducer Systems are individually packed, sterile, non-pyrogenic and latex-free.<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> DTX Plus TM Flexi Disposable<br />

Transducer Sets<br />

Sterile, single use<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> DTX Plus TM Flexi Transducer Systems are a range of invasive pressure monitoring sets designed to improve<br />

Procurement stocking efficiency through facilitating appropriate set configuration selection whilst minimising unused set<br />

component wastage. In the Flexi configuration the Arterial disposable transducer system is used as the ‘master’ line.<br />

When clinically required, additional lines are connected to this ‘master’ line in a cascade. This is achieved via an additional<br />

stopcock positioned on the administration set side of the transducer, thereby having no impact on dynamic response.<br />

This innovative Flexi solution, offering the adaptability of single, or multiple transducer set configurations, facilitates set<br />

selection, set-up time whilst minimising storage costs.<br />

Available in Standard set format, Safedraw TM or Safedraw-P TM Closed-loop, arterial blood sampling formats, <strong>Argon</strong> DTX<br />

Plus TM Flexi Transducer Systems are individually packed, sterile, non-pyrogenic and latex-free.<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> RT2000 Reusable Transducer and<br />

Disposable Domes and Dome systems<br />

Sterile, single use<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> RT2000 Reusable Transducer and Disposable Domes and Dome Systems are engineered to improve cost efficiencies<br />

by reducing disposal costs and biological wastage generation whilst maintaining pressure waveform accuracy and<br />

reliability.<br />

With the <strong>Argon</strong> RT2000 system only the sterile disposable dome components are discarded after each patient use whilst<br />

the reusable RT2000 transducer is retained ready for the next patient’s use. This enables the cost per patient set-up to be<br />

lower than fully disposable transducer systems and minimises environmental impact by reducing the volume of hazardous<br />

waste generated per patient.<br />

The one-handed ‘snap-on’ dry coupling system for engagement of the disposable sterile dome set with the <strong>Argon</strong> RT2000<br />

reusable transducer system is simple and quick to perform, thereby minimising initial set-up time. The straight and visible<br />

fluid pathway enables the disposable dome to fill, bubble-free with minimal effort. The integrated flush device and venting<br />

EasyVent zeroing stopcock provide quick, effective fluid control.<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> RT2000 systems are available in Flexi format and with the Safedraw TM and Safedraw-P TM safe arterial blood sampling<br />

systems. These systems are designed to significantly reduce unnecessary blood discard and blood spillage, thereby<br />

reducing the risk of iatrogenic anaemia and cross contamination to patients and staff. Whole blood samples are collected<br />

in the ‘closed-loop’ Safedraw TM and Safedraw-P TM sets either via the Safedraw TM self-sealing silicone septum or via direct<br />

luer-slip access into the unique Safedraw-P TM split-septum blood sampling port. The ‘closed-loop’ system design facilitates<br />

easier blood sampling and superior clinical samples, thereby achieving more reliable laboratory values.<br />

Available in <strong>Argon</strong> Standard and ‘Flexi’ Disposable Dome configurations, with Adult Safedraw TM and Safedraw-P TM options,<br />

<strong>Argon</strong> RT2000 Dome systems are individually packed, sterile, non-pyrogenic and latex-free.<br />
