Access Scientific Gains FDA Clearance for Powerwand

San Diego–based, Access Scientific wins FDA clearance of its 3 French, 6cm Powerwand, which is an extended-dwell intravenous catheter.

The device is made of ChronoflexC and is longer than standard hospital IVs.

The device draws blood tests, administers fluids (75 ml/min) and power-injecting CT contrast media (8ml/sec). — Cynthia Jessup
