Fabricated from a highly flexible and chem-resistant Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), these single-use clot catchers serve as a structural protective barrier between patient whole-blood samples and the ultra-sensitive internal fluidic sensors of analytical systems (such as legacy Roche OMNI, AVL, or cobas point-of-care blood gas monitors). Placed in-line with syringes or capillary tubes prior to sample aspiration, this component intercepts macro-fibrin webs, micro-clots, and cellular aggregates without causing hemolysis or chemical interference, preventing expensive instrument downtime and sensor blockages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Performance and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlexible TPE Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Molded from a high-grade Thermoplastic Elastomer that yields an airtight, leak-proof friction seal when combined with standard capillary tubes or syringe hubs, preventing sample spray-back or vacuum loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eInline Micro-Clot Elimination:\u003c\/b\u003e Features an internal porous micro-matrix optimized to trap fibrin strands and early-stage clotting bodies from raw whole blood, while permitting unhindered transfer of vital blood gases, electrolytes, and metabolites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHemolysis-Free Fluid Dynamics:\u003c\/b\u003e The smooth internal flow channel geometry controls shear stress on fragile blood cells, ensuring that the filtering process does not introduce artificial hemolysis that could skew potassium or hemoglobin parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eUniversal Critical Care Fit:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed with exact mechanical tolerances to mount flush onto standard blood gas capillary adapters and analytical sample injection ports, ensuring smooth integration into rapid critical care workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalog Number \/ MPN:\u003c\/b\u003e 03112012180 (Cross-listed as BP2243 \/ 03112012-180)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer \/ Brand:\u003c\/b\u003e Roche Diagnostics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Medical-Grade Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSterility \/ Process State:\u003c\/b\u003e Non-Sterile Single-Use Disposable Components\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChemical Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e Validated for whole blood, capillary samples, and standard calibration fluids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStandard Pack Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Pack of 250 Clot Catchers per box\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits and Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlood Gas Analyzer Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Acts as the primary line of defense for critical care systems, keeping dense fibrin clots from entering the micro-capillary paths of pH, pCO2, and pO2 electrode modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePediatric and Neonatal Micro-Samples:\u003c\/b\u003e Highly valued in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) where processing difficult-to-obtain, slow-flowing heel-stick capillary samples often presents an elevated risk of micro-clotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReduced Maintenance Downtime:\u003c\/b\u003e Trapping biological blockages outside the analyzer eliminates the need for manual protein clearing flushes, sensor disassembly, or premature electrode replacement cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreserved Assay Metrics:\u003c\/b\u003e Allows immediate filtration at the point of care without requiring long centrifugation loops, keeping partial gas pressures intact for accurate, time-sensitive diagnostics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;
