Technology
VenoBotic develops the LineGuard™, an automated platform for blood sampling and flushing through Central Venous Access Devices (CVAD).
The system replaces prolonged, manual, and error‑prone practices with a unified, rapid automated procedure.
The Need
Central Venous Access Devices (CVADs) are vital for oncology and critical care, enabling long-term venous access, rapid IV administration, and avoiding repeated venipuncture.
However, CVAD maintenance presents significant challenges. Blood draws and flushing must be performed manually by trained nurses or physicians, following complex sterile protocols with up to 24 steps.
These procedures are:
Costly
each CLABSI case costs hospitals an estimated $48,000
Error-prone
leading to increased risks of infection and complications
Time-consuming
intensive and burdensome for caregivers
™The Solution - LineGuard
VenoBotic develops the LineGuard™, an automated platform for blood sampling and flushing through Central Venous Access Device (CVADs).
The solution will enable shifting manual blood sampling, flushing, and disinfection – prolonged and error-prone practices – into a unified, rapid automated procedure.
Saving Time & Labor
Streamlines a complex, multi-step process into a unified automated workflow - reclaiming thousands of nursing hours annually and easing clinician workload across hospitals.
Reducing Infection Risk
Ensures consistent handling with minimal manual touch at the hub - helping prevent CLABSIs and reducing the significant patient risk associated with central-line contamination.
Supporting High-Acuity Settings
Ideal for high-use environments like oncology departments and ICUs, where CVAD access occurs multiple times daily - ensuring reliable performance in highly demanding care areas.
Improving Compliance & Billing
Enables accurate documentation of billable CVAD procedures - supporting better revenue capture, regulatory adherence, and streamlined hospital compliance.
LineGuard™ Automated Workflow
Patent application filed (WO2024209465A1).
Use Cases
Automates routine draws, flushes, and disinfections multiple times daily, reducing workload and infection risk.
Allows safe blood sampling and flushing with minimal training - valuable in home infusion or palliative care.
