Smiths Medical 4039EG-1 - ABG-PULSATOR 3ML NA F % EDGE 100/CA
The Smiths Medical 4039EG-1 ABG-Pulsator is a 3 mL arterial blood sampling solution designed for professional collection of arterial blood gas specimens. Developed for clinical environments where accurate sample collection and safe handling are essential, this Pulsator system combines a 3 mL Luer lock syringe with liquid sodium heparin and Needle-Pro EDGE safety technology.
The liquid Pulsator 3 mL syringe contains approximately 31 IU per mL of liquid sodium heparin before excess liquid is expelled. After expelling excess liquid, the syringe contains approximately 18.8 IU of heparin per mL of syringe capacity. The 4039EG-1 configuration is indicated for arterial blood testing of pO2, pCO2, and pH. It is not indicated for electrolyte or metabolite testing. The product is supplied in a case quantity of 100 units.

Compatibility and Applications
The Smiths Medical 4039EG-1 Pulsator 3 mL arterial blood sampling kit is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals performing arterial blood specimen collection for blood gas analysis. It is suitable for clinical workflows requiring measurement of pO2, pCO2, and pH from appropriately collected arterial blood samples.
Typical applications include arterial blood gas collection in hospitals, emergency departments, intensive care units, respiratory care departments, pulmonary care settings, operating rooms, and clinical laboratories. Compatibility with specific blood gas analyzers, collection procedures, and institutional protocols should always be confirmed before use.
Usage Guidelines
Use the Smiths Medical 4039EG-1 only according to the manufacturer's current instructions for use and the healthcare facility's approved arterial blood sampling procedures. Confirm the correct patient, sampling site, required test parameters, and specimen handling requirements before beginning the procedure.
Prepare the syringe as directed for arterial blood collection, including proper handling of the liquid heparin preparation. Follow approved aseptic technique during sample collection. After obtaining the specimen, manage air bubbles, mixing, labeling, transport, storage, and analysis according to facility protocol and blood gas laboratory requirements.
Dispose of used needles, syringes, and contaminated materials immediately in appropriate sharps or biohazard containers. The device should be used only by personnel trained in arterial puncture, blood collection, specimen handling, and applicable needle safety procedures.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The Smiths Medical 4039EG-1 is intended for professional medical use and should be handled according to current manufacturer labeling, instructions for use, institutional policies, and applicable healthcare regulations. Users should verify current regulatory status, certifications, and product documentation for their specific facility or jurisdiction before clinical use.
Inspect the product packaging before use and do not use any device with damaged, opened, compromised, or expired packaging. Follow standard precautions, infection-control procedures, sharps safety practices, and facility-specific arterial blood collection protocols throughout the procedure.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with general-purpose syringes or basic arterial sampling products, the Smiths Medical 4039EG-1 is specifically configured for arterial blood gas specimen collection. Its 3 mL Luer lock syringe, liquid sodium heparin preparation, and Needle-Pro EDGE safety-focused design provide a clinically targeted option for facilities that regularly perform arterial blood gas procedures.
When evaluating arterial blood sampling products, healthcare facilities commonly consider syringe capacity, heparin type, needle safety features, intended test parameters, ease of specimen handling, packaging quantity, and compatibility with established laboratory workflows. The 4039EG-1 is particularly appropriate when testing requirements focus on pO2, pCO2, and pH rather than electrolytes or metabolites.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
The Smiths Medical 4039EG-1 is designed for trained healthcare professionals involved in arterial blood collection and blood gas analysis. Typical users may include respiratory therapists, physicians, nurses, laboratory professionals, critical care teams, emergency clinicians, and other personnel authorized to perform arterial puncture procedures.
Common application scenarios include evaluating respiratory and acid-base status in emergency care, critical care, pulmonary assessment, perioperative monitoring, and other situations where arterial blood gas measurements are clinically required. The 100-unit case configuration also makes the product practical for departments with recurring arterial blood sampling needs.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the Smiths Medical 4039EG-1 according to the conditions specified on the manufacturer's labeling. Maintain products in their original packaging until required for use and rotate inventory according to expiration dates and institutional stock-management procedures.
Before each procedure, verify the product code, package integrity, expiration date, syringe configuration, and intended testing requirements. Use proper arterial puncture technique and follow approved procedures for specimen mixing, air removal, labeling, transportation, and timely analysis.
Because the 4039EG-1 is intended for pO2, pCO2, and pH testing and is not indicated for electrolytes or metabolites, clinicians should confirm the requested laboratory tests before selecting this sampling system. Do not reuse single-use components or attempt to reprocess disposable devices unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer's instructions.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The Smiths Medical 4039EG-1 should be used only for its intended medical purpose and by appropriately trained healthcare professionals. Follow the manufacturer's current instructions for use, facility policies, infection-control standards, and applicable regulations governing arterial blood collection and sharps disposal.
Arterial puncture is an invasive clinical procedure that requires appropriate patient assessment, site selection, aseptic technique, specimen management, and post-procedure monitoring. Follow institutional protocols for managing potential complications and occupational exposure risks.
The 4039EG-1 configuration is intended for pO2, pCO2, and pH testing and is not indicated for electrolyte or metabolite measurements. Always verify the required laboratory testing profile and current product labeling before use.
