Product catalog summary
Overview: This document discusses the availability and benefits of pulmonary artery catheters that do not contain natural rubber latex components, addressing the issue of latex allergies in medical settings.
Problem - Latex Allergies: Latex allergies occur when the immune system reacts to proteins in natural rubber latex, potentially causing severe reactions. Studies indicate that latex sensitivity affects 6-12% of the U.S. population, making it crucial for clinicians to consider latex-free options.
Case Study: A 63-year-old patient experienced a significant allergic reaction during surgery due to latex exposure, highlighting the need for latex-free medical devices.

  • Oximetry (SvO2) Catheters - TriOx™
  • Continuous Cardiac Output (CCO) Catheters - TDQ™
  • CCO & PA Oximetry Catheters - OptiQ™
  • Standard PA Pressure & Occlusion Pressure Monitoring Catheters
  • Standard PA Thermodilution Catheters - Multiflex, Pentalumen™
Product Specifications: The document provides detailed specifications for various catheter models, including lumen count, French size, length, heparin coating, and latex-free status.
Conclusion: ICU Medical's latex-free catheters eliminate the risk of latex allergy events, offering safe and reliable options for patient monitoring and care.

A recent study of antilatex IgE antibodies in blood donors has shown that the prevalence of latex sensitivity may be as high as 6-12%1 or up to 37 million people in the U.S. alone.
