Bullseye! Elimination of chest X-ray is simple with a steady Blue Bullseye.1

The Arrow® VPS G4 Device enables you to provide faster care to your patients. Once you obtain a steady Blue Bullseye, you can confidently start treatment immediately without having to wait for a chest X-ray.1 Here are just a few of the more important benefits you’ll discover1:

  • Release the line immediately, having confidence that you’ve safely reached the lower 1/3 of the SVC-CAJ.1
  • Avoid arterial and azygous placement, increasing patient safety and reducing the risk of complications.
  • Eliminate confirmation chest X-ray with a steady Blue Bullseye, freeing your patient from harmful radiation.1
  • Save money and valuable time by reducing line repositions.

Combining multiple technologies for precise tip confirmation, the Arrow® VPS G4 Device helps you navigate through the vasculature and precisely identify the location of the lower 1/3 of the SVC-CAJ.
