Blood Collection Sets
It is critically important that blood collection holders (also known as tube holders) are fully compatible with both the needles and the blood collection tubes used. In cases where the holder is not properly matched with the needle, air may enter the tube during collection. This can lead to foaming in the specimen, compromising sample integrity.
Whenever possible, the use of single-use blood collection holders is highly recommended to minimize risks associated with contamination.
Another crucial warning: reusable blood collection holders pose a significant risk of contamination by viruses, bacteria, and bloodborne pathogens. This risk must not be underestimated. Using non-disposable holders can create serious hazards for healthcare professionals involved in phlebotomy and sample handling.
Just as sterility and disposability are critical in all medical products, they are equally essential for components in the blood collection process, including holders. Ensuring proper hygiene protocols is vital to maintaining safety for both healthcare workers and patients.
Blood Collection Holder – Technical Specifications
The blood collection holder is manufactured from transparent plastic material, allowing clear visibility of the blood collection tube once it is inserted. This transparency ensures that the tube’s engagement within the holder is easily observable.
The holder is designed with optimal rigidity, enabling healthcare professionals to insert and remove blood tubes using one hand without difficulty. The design also allows the color of the tube cap to be clearly seen while it is inside the holder, facilitating easy identification.
Made from high-quality plastic raw materials, each blood collection holder is intended for single use only. Reuse is strictly discouraged, as it poses significant safety risks and constitutes improper usage.
As a medical device, the holder must be disposed of in a medical waste container immediately after use, in accordance with hygiene and infection control protocols.
