Abstract

See full text

A cartridge for use with a blood vessel access system and device. The cartridge includes a slideable needle mount and a slideable cannula mount, the slideable needle mount having a needle in slideable connection with a lumen of a cannula held by the needle mount. The slideable needle mount and the slideable cannula mount are removeably attachable with separate moveable platforms of a needle injector that is pivotally attached to a handheld ultrasound transceiver in signal communication with a computer processing unit connected with a monitor. Upon insonification of a patient's vasculature using the handheld ultrasound transceiver pressed against the surface of the patient, needle injection and subsequent cannulation of a targeted blood vessel appearing on the monitor is accomplished by deploying the needle and cannula from the cartridge via motorization of the moveable platforms that is initiated by the user operating a controller on the device's needle injector.
