Greiner Bio-One Safety Blood Collection Set with Luer Adapter is a single-use, sterile, winged blood collection needle bonded to a flexible tubing with a luer connector. The SAFETY Blood Collection Set is used for blood collection. The winged needle is designed with a safety shield, which can be activated to cover the needle immediately following venipuncture to aid in the protection against accidental needlestick injury.

Needle Length: 3/4 Inch

Handling

• Select appropriate tube(s) and SAFETY Blood Collection/Infusion Set and, if necessary, connect it to the desired collection system.
• Carefully remove needle cap from safety-winged needle.
• Perform venipuncture with patient’s arm in downward position. Flashback will confirm successful venipuncture.
• Immobilize the winged needle with tape when necessary.
• Collect blood according to your facility’s procedure. Remove Tourniquet as soon as blood appears in the tube. Always hold in place by pressing the tube with the thumb to prevent kick-back and to ensure complete vacuum draw. NOTE: The first tube in the series will be under-filled due to the dead volume of the flexible tubing. A discard tube (no-additive) is recommended to be drawn prior to ensure the proper anticoagulant to blood ratio.
• After completion, gently place gauze over collection site without applying pressure.
• With one hand, activate the safety mechanism by pressing in the light part on both sides of the hub to engage the lock.
• Slide the safety mechanism backward until an audible click is heard. The click is a sign that the safety mechanism has been correctly activated.
• Apply gentle pressure to the puncture site using the gauze pad according to facility protocol.
• Promptly dispose of SAFETY Blood Collection/Infusion Set in an approved disposal container in accordance with the procedures of your facility.
