Flow Meets Maximum Versatility
The Arrowg+ard Blue MAC is designed to meet the needs of a variety of patient types — from trauma to cardiac. The catheter combines the access of a sheath introducer with the high-flow lumens of a central line. The MAC's hemostasis valve allows for easy access for additional devices, such as a thermodilution catheter or Arrow MAC Companion Catheter adding up to three additional lumens. The 9 French distal lumen accommodates large fluid volumes when needed, while the 12-gauge proximal lumen provides a separate access for incompatible fluid administration.

Note: This table compares the highest flow lumen per vascular access device. PICC, CVC, Sheath Introducer and MAC flow rates are gravity saline flow rates. IV and Intraosseous flow rates are based off pressure bag flow rates, and they are provided by another manufacturer.
Lumen | Flow rate (ML/HR)3 |
---|---|
Distal (9 Fr.) No Catheter | 29,920 |
Distal (9 Fr.) with 8 Fr. Catheter | 12,180 |
Distal (9 Fr.) with 7 Fr. Catheter | 19,810 |
Proximal (12 Ga.) No Catheter | 9,340 |
Based on 100 cm head height gravity saline flow rates. Flow rates would be higher with a rapid infuser or pressure bag.
The Arrow MAC uses proprietary chlorhexidine-based antimicrobial protection designed to protect your patients from the known pathogens of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSIs).
