The Arrow UltraQuik® Peripheral Nerve Block Needle is indicated for the delivery of single-shot peripheral nerve block anesthesia or analgesia using medical imaging devices.
The Arrow UltraQuik Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) Needle is a single shot needle which is comprised of a cannula, hub, and fluid extension tube with female luer fitting. The single shot needles are available in various gauges, lengths, and point styles. These include:
- Gauge
- 20 Ga (Touhy only)
- 21 to 24 Ga
- Lengths
- 35 mm to 150 mm
- Point style
- Bevel tip
- Pencil point
- Touhy tip
- Cannula echogenicity
- The cannula is naturally echogenic but the addition of grooves on the cannula enhance the echogenicity
The UltraQuik may be used with medical imaging, i.e., ultrasound to assist in needle tip location.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information for the ARROW UltraQuik Peripheral Nerve Block Needle, based on the provided 510(k) summary:
