What is a Blood Collection System?
A Blood Collection System is a comprehensive set of sterile tools and equipment, meticulously designed for collecting patient blood samples for various medical purposes. This essential kit includes a needle and needle protector, a blood sampling bag, a vacuum tube holder, and a blood transfusion bag. An optional leukocyte reduction filter is also available. The blood sampling bag ensures secure storage and transport of collected blood, while the vacuum tube holder facilitates efficient handling of multiple samples. The leukocyte reduction filter efficiently removes white blood cells from the collected blood. This Blood Collection System is conveniently available in single, double, triple, and quadruple configurations, with needles precisely size 16G.
How to use a Blood Collection System? To use a blood collection system, the phlebotomist first verifies patient identity and cleans the puncture site. After inserting the needle into the patient’s vein and collecting the blood, the needle is safely removed and immediately covered with a protector for secure disposal.
How to select the correct blood collection tube? Selecting the correct blood collection tube depends on the specific tests required. Tubes are clearly labeled with the intended blood or fluid type, along with any anticoagulant added, ensuring proper sample integrity for accurate results.
How to prevent blood from clotting in the blood collection tubes? To prevent blood from clotting, tubes must be filled completely and then gently inverted several times. This action ensures thorough mixing of the blood with the anticoagulant, keeping the sample viable for testing.
How to dispose of a Blood Collection System? After use, the entire blood collection system, including needles and blood bags, must be disposed of in a biohazard container. Always follow local regulations strictly to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and minimize risk to healthcare workers, patients, and the environment.
