BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok access device is designed for sterile, secure, and safe specimen sampling. This device provides the security of a threading locking luer connection, replacing the need for a luer slip device. The BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok access device can be used to access blood or urine directly from catheters or Foley ports.
Improving urine sample collection through Foley catheters
BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok Access Device enables the transfer of a urine sample directly from a Foley catheter to the Urinalysis/ Microbiology determination tube. This means fewer steps, less sample manipulation, and reduced risk of infection. Security of the threaded Luer-Lok mechanism helps ensure that a closed system is maintained. This allows sample integrity to be maintained and helps prevent microbial overgrowth or false positives.
Improving blood sample quality from IVC collection
The BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok Access Device (LLAD) can replace other methods such as syringes and luer adapters and can reduce hemolysis rates from 8.1% to 1.4%. (58 samples out of 716 to 9 samples out of 630)1. Combining the BD LLAD with a sterilized discard tube together with a partial draw tube reduces hemolysis further.
