1. An intravascular catheter device for insertion of an intravascular catheter into an interior of a blood vessel comprising:
- an intravascular catheter;
a hollow needle concentric and within said catheter;
a chamber being in communication with said hollow needle;
means for creation of a vacuum pressure within said chamber, said means for creation of said vacuum pressure being manually operable to create said vacuum;
means for self-propelled advancement of said intravascular catheter into the interior of the blood vessel; and
means for actuating said means for self-propelled advancement of said catheter into the interior of the blood vessel upon backflow of blood occurring upon blood vessel penetration, said blood being drawn by said vacuum pressure toward said chamber, said actuating means being manually actuable.

Abstract
An improved intravascular catheter placement device including a hollow needle, an intravascular catheter concentric with said hollow needle, a chamber in communication with said hollow needle wherein the pressure within said chamber is a manually created vacuum pressure. A self-propelling apparatus is also included for moving said catheter into a blood vessel upon sensing penetration of the wall of the blood vessel by the tip of the hollow needle.
