• The safePICO arterial blood gas syringe

    Supporting your blood gas mixing with an arterial blood gas syringe

The safePICO syringe helps minimize other preanalytical errors, such as:

  • Removing air bubbles from a blood gas sample
  • Minimizing needlestick injury
  • Mix-up of samples in blood gas testing

With the safePICO blood gas syringe for arterial line and arterial puncture, you can improve your mixing and get results you can trust.

  • Built-in gold-coated mixing ball helps you obtain a homogeneous sample
  • safeTIPCAP helps you remove any air bubbles without blood contact
  • Barcode helps you get a correct match between your patient and blood sample
  • Integrated needle shield minimizes the risk of needlestick injury
  • Dry electrolyte-balanced heparin reduces the risk of your sample clotting
  • The safePICO aspirator’s 1 mL label clearly shows the amount of blood you need for correct automatic mixing and measurement of all possible parameters on the ABL analyzers

The safePICO aspirator for arterial line blood gas sampling

The safePICO aspirator has an integrated mixing ball and a new 1.0 mL label. The new label clearly shows the amount of blood you need for correct automatic mixing. It also shows you the amount you need for measuring all possible parameters on the ABL analyzers.

The safePICO aspirator with 1.0 mL label is designed for accurate blood sample volume. With accurate blood sample volume, you use nothing more or less than the exact amount of blood necessary to produce reliable results. Thus the 1.0 mL label contributes to Patient Blood Management.

What we’ve done to increase your safety as a caregiver

At Radiometer, we believe that safety of caregivers should be a top priority in all phases of acute care testing.

The integrated needle shield device on the safePICO self-fill syringe lowers the risk of needlestick injury.

The cap seals the sample entirely to prevent contact with patient blood, even during transport and analysis.

Barcode connects the patient with sample

The safePICO blood gas syringe is already barcoded, helping you match the sample with the correct patient.

With the FLEXLINK data management system, you can scan the sample directly at the bedside and link it with your patient’s ID. This gives you confidence that you have the right result for the right patient – every time.
