As arterial blood gas collection has evolved over the past three decades, the presence of air in the sample and inconsistent sample sizes have remained the primary causes of specimen contamination. Now the revolutionary Mosquito® Arterial Blood Gas Sampler redefines collection accuracy with a proprietary, anaerobic design that virtually eliminates the potential for pre-analytical sampling errors.

Airless and effortless, the Mosquito® Arterial Blood Gas Sampler sets new standards in blood gas collection. The Mosquito® sampler provides a fixed sample size with no plunger to set and no tapping required to remove air bubbles. As a result, user interaction is reduced and standardization is enhanced whenever blood collection is performed.

The proprietary, dual lumen design features an easy-to-grip external barrel, similar in diameter to the familiar 3ml syringe. The unique inner collection lumen ensures an exact sample size every time. Arterial pressure fills the Mosquito® sampler rapidly, so flash back and fill time occur almost simultaneously. With minimal mixing, the special balanced Lithium/Zinc heparin formulation results in no CO2 dilutional error, and only nominal effect on specific analytes.

Take the sting out of pre-analytical sampling errors

• We've made it easier for you and less traumatic for your patient. The anaerobic "plungerless" design results in a fixed sample size and virtually errorless sampling.
• Fixed volume eliminates inconsistent sample size.
• Micro sampling significantly reduces the amount of blood required for accurate analysis.
• 22, 23 or 25 gauge needles enhance patient comfort.
• Similar in size to a 3ml syringe.
• Special balanced Lithium/Zinc heparin formulation results in accurate blood gas and electrolyte sampling.

Crickett™ Needle Protection System:

Combine Faultless Accuracy with Advanced Safety

Now your safety is just a click away. Designed to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries, the Crickett^TM safety shield extends quickly and locks over the used needle to prevent accidental needlesticks. The Crickett^TM safety system complies with all FDA, OSHA and NIOSH guidelines.

Healthcare providers who collect arterial blood gas samples are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Responding to the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, which requires all healthcare providers in the United States to use medical devices with "engineered sharps-injury protection," OSHA revised the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. This revision addresses the need for employers to select safer needle devices and to involve employees in identifying and choosing these devices.
