Detailed description
<p>BD Vacutainer PPT is a closed system allowing separation and storage of undiluted EDTA plasma in the primary blood collection tube. It is intended for the purposes of molecular diagnostic testing.</p> <p>PPT is an evacuated, sterile blood collection tube that contains an inert gel and spray-dried K2EDTA anticoagulant for achieving plasma separation. When the sample-filled tube is subjected to centrifugation, the gel migrates and forms a physical barrier between the plasma and most of the cellular elements. Since the tube uses spray-dried K2EDTA as opposed to liquid additives, the plasma obtained is undiluted.</p> <p><b>Preparation And Storage</b></p> <p>Store unfilled tubes at 4-25&ordm;C. Limited excursion temperatures up to 40&ordm;C, for a cumulative time not to exceed 10 days, are acceptable.</p> <p><b>Features</b></p> <ul> <li>Mylar label</li> <li><b>Volume:</b> 5 mL</li> <li><b>Type:</b> Plasma Tube</li> <li><b>Dimensions:</b> 13 X 100 mm</li> <li>Whole blood is collected and processed in a closed, sterile tube</li> <li>During centrifugation, a gel barrier isolates the plasma from cellular components of the blood</li> <li>The BD Vacutainer PPT Tube is designed for the one-step preparation of undiluted plasma specimens for molecular diagnostic test methods or where undiluted plasma is required</li> </ul> <p><b>Instructions For Use</b></p> <ul> <li>Prepare venipuncture site with an appropriate antiseptic. Use your institution&rsquo;s recommended procedure for standard venipuncture technique and sample collection.</li> <li>Remove needle shield.</li> <li>Perform venipuncture.</li> <li>Place tube in holder and push tube forward until tube stopper has been penetrated.</li> <li>Release tourniquet as soon as blood appears in tube.</li> <li>Wait until tube has filled to its stated volume and blood flow ceases.</li> <li>Pull tube off needle inside holder.</li> <li>Remove tube from holder.</li> <li>After collection of whole blood in the BD PPT Tube, immediately and gently invert the BD PPT Tube 8&ndash;10 times.</li> <li>After mixing, the whole blood specimen may be stored up to six (6) hours at room temperature until centrifugation.</li> <li>Centrifuge BD PPT Tube in a balanced, swing-out rotor type centrifuge at room temperature at 1,100 RCF for a minimum of 10 minutes.</li> </ul> <p><b>Note:</b> Use of alternate centrifugation conditions may also provide acceptable performance; this should be evaluated and validated by the laboratory.</p> <ul> <li>To obtain an undiluted plasma sample, remove the BD Hemogard Closure (See Instructions for Removal of BD Hemogard Closure Section) and decant plasma into a separate vessel or aliquot plasma into a separate vessel using a transfer pipette.</li> </ul> <p><b>NOTE:</b> When using a transfer pipette be sure NOT to disturb the gel barrier with the tip of the pipette.</p>
