Micro Vacutainer is an innovative medical product used for micro blood collection, especially suitable for infants and patients who have difficulty with blood collection. This product not only reduces pain during the blood collection process but also ensures the quality of the blood sample, meeting clinical testing needs. This article will provide an in-depth understanding of the Micro Vacutainer's characteristics and usage methods.
Micro Vacutainer is made from medical-grade PP raw materials, ensuring high safety and durability. To better accommodate patients such as infants who have difficulty with blood collection, the Micro Vacutainer features a specially designed concave groove tube mouth. This design can collect micro blood samples more effectively. Additionally, the Micro Vacutainer adheres to strict process control to ensure that even with a small amount of blood, the sample quality and accuracy are maintained.
For convenience, the Micro Vacutainer adopts the same internationally recognized color coding and additive schemes as vacuum blood collection tubes. This not only facilitates identification by medical staff but also ensures a smoother transition between different blood collection tubes. Additionally, the Micro Vacutainer can be customized with different labels, blood collection volumes, additives, and special specifications based on customer requirements, further enhancing its applicability in clinical settings.
Micro Vacutainer is not only well-designed but also very convenient to use. It is compatible with various semi-/fully automatic blood analyzers and has an extended tube body design that can be directly placed on the instrument's tube rack for detection. Its rounded tube mouth design facilitates blood collection, and the internal V-shaped blood collection cavity allows for effective mixing of micro blood samples with reagents, raising the specimen liquid level for easier subsequent sampling and testing.
Micro Vacutainer's tube body is also marked with different scale lines of 0.25ml, 0.5ml, 0.8ml, and 1.0ml to meet the requirements of different clinical tests. Moreover, it can connect to hospital information systems, pre-setting barcodes to enable automatic machine reading of specimen information, greatly improving the efficiency and informatization level of hospital management.
It is worth mentioning that the Type II of Micro Vacutainer has a "Y"-shaped pre-cut design. This design not only meets the product's sterile barrier requirements but also facilitates instrument puncture detection, preventing needle blockages and aerosol contamination, ensuring the safety and accuracy of the blood collection process.
Proper use of the Micro Vacutainer can enhance blood collection efficiency and ensure specimen quality. The following is a detailed introduction to the blood collection steps:
1. Disinfect the puncture area, remove the protective cap of the lancet, quickly puncture the area of the patient that needs blood collection, and wipe off the first drop of blood.
2. Use a disposable micro blood collection straw to aspirate the blood droplets that coagulate to pea-sized, and inject the blood into the Micro Vacutainer. If repeat blood collection is needed, the above steps can be repeated.
3. For sterile micro blood collection tubes, rotate and pull off the cap, use the concave groove design to contact the skin's blood, and the blood will naturally flow into the tube, collecting to the marked scale line. After blood collection, immediately replace and lock the cap, gently invert 5-8 times to mix the specimen with the reagent thoroughly, and then send it for testing.
During the operation, except for special circumstances, blood collection from the earlobe should be avoided; blood can be collected from the sides of the thumb or the heel for infants; the collection site should be free from inflammation or edema, and excessive pressure on peripheral areas should be avoided. Additionally, Micro Vacutainer is for single-use only and must be disposed of according to medical waste regulations after use. Reuse is strictly prohibited to avoid infection risks.
