What is Arrow® VPS Rhythm?

Teleflex stated that the Arrow® VPS Rhythm Device assists in placement and confirmation of a catheter tip in the SVC-CAJ (superior vena-cava-cavoatrial junction) and can be used with a broad range of catheter types and brands. Intravascular P-wave changes are saved as the catheter approaches the SVC, helping to identify the lower 1/3 of the SVC, near the CAJ, eliminating the need for confirmatory chest X-ray or fluoroscopy in adult patients. When paired with the single-use TipTracker™ Stylet for insertion of peripherally-inserted central catheters (PICCs), the Arrow® VPS Rhythm™ Device provides real-time visual navigation by tracing the catheter pathway with a blue line on a color-screen. The Device boasts an expansive sphere of visual navigation to provide easy navigation of the PICC during insertion.

"This clearance positions us to provide catheter tip placement solutions that meet customer's unique therapeutic and budgetary needs," said Jay White, president and general manager, Vascular Division of Teleflex, "The VPS Rhythm™ Device with Optional TipTracker™ Technology will complement our existing Arrow® VPS G4™ Device, diversifying and strengthening our catheter tip positioning portfolio globally. Most importantly, it furthers our goal of making products that simplify clinician's work and improve a patient's care."

Launches LMA® Gastro™ Airway

In a separate press release on the same day, Teleflex announced the launch of the new LMA® Gastro™ Airway with Cuff Pilot™ Technology – the first laryngeal mask specifically designed to facilitate esophageal access and promote airway control during endoscopic procedures.

Teleflex stated that moderate-to-deep sedation during endoscopy is a common practice around the world, however, respiratory depression from sedative drugs and airway obstruction requiring intervention are known risks associated with endoscopic procedures, with studies demonstrating that hypoxemia can occur in 11%-50% of cases. The Company noted that in the United States there are more than 6.9 million upper endoscopies performed annually and many of these are undertaken without an airway management device in place. The LMA® Gastro™ Airway is designed to maintain a patent airway throughout the procedure to support patient safety, in adult patients undergoing endoscopic procedures.

Teleflex noted that the LMA® Gastro™ Airway also features Cuff Pilot™ Technology – an integrated, cuff pressure indicator that constantly monitors cuff pressure, detecting changes resulting from fluctuations in temperature, nitrous oxide levels and movements within the airway. It provides at-a-glance feedback, highlighting changes that could affect patient safety.

Justin McMurray, President of the Teleflex Anaesthesia & Emergency Medicine Division stated:

"Our LMA® Brand revolutionized airway management with the development of the original laryngeal mask airway. We are excited to continue this tradition with the introduction of the LMA® Gastro™ Airway to empower clinicians to achieve airway control during endoscopic."
