Abstract
Provided herein is a blood draw device that includes an introducer having a housing with a guide tube fixedly contained therein that defines as guide lumen. A catheter arrangement moveable within the guide lumen includes a catheter defining a first catheter lumen, a secondary catheter defining a second catheter lumen, and a catheter fitting coupled between the catheter and the secondary catheter to fluidly connect the first and second catheter lumens. An advancement member moveable along the introducer in the lengthwise direction includes an arrangement of pinch members positioned within the housing configured to pinch the guide tube and to move along the guide tube when the advancement member is moved. In response to moving the advancement member distally along the housing, the pinch members push the catheter fitting distally within the guide lumen, such that the catheter and secondary catheter are also advanced distally.
