A Novel Needle-Free Blood Draw Device for Sample Collection From Short Peripheral Catheters
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new US Food and Drug Administration-cleared needleless blood collection device (PIVO; Velano Vascular, San Francisco, CA) for short peripheral catheters was compared with conventional venipuncture for collecting blood samples for routine laboratory analysis from adult healthy volunteers. The PIVO device was comparable with venipuncture in terms of providing high-integrity samples (no hemolysis or clotting), equivalent laboratory values, and better patient experience as assessed by pain scores. Further studies to assess the overall utility of the PIVO device are warranted.

Evaluation of a new venous catheter blood draw device and its impact on specimen hemolysis rates
Objectives Blood collections from peripheral intravenous catheters offer several benefits to patients, including reduced needle punctures and patient discomfort, but they risk reducing the quality of blood specimens analyzed by the laboratory. In an effort to balance analytical quality of test results with patient-centered care initiatives, a needle-less blood collection device called PIVO™ was...
متن کاملUse of butterfly needles to draw blood is independently associated with marked reduction in hemolysis compared to intravenous catheter.
OBJECTIVES Hemolysis of blood samples drawn in the emergency department (ED) is a common problem that can interfere with timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The objective of this study was to identify the smallest number of remediable factors that independently increases the risk of hemolysis to design an effective strategy to address this issue. METHODS This was a prospective, observ...
متن کاملCritical review and meta-analysis of spurious hemolysis in blood samples collected from intravenous catheters
BACKGROUND A number of preanalytical activities strongly influence sample quality, especially those related to sample collection. Since blood drawing through intravenous catheters is reported as a potential source of erythrocyte injury, we performed a critical review and meta-analysis about the risk of catheter-related hemolysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a systematic search on PubMe...
متن کاملEfficacy of three different valve systems of needle-free closed connectors in avoiding access of microorganisms to endovascular catheters after incorrect handling.
OBJECTIVE Disinfectable needle-free closed connectors were designed to avoid needle-stick injuries and to be easily disinfected before handling. Workloads or lack of knowledge, however, could impede the correct handling of these devices, allowing endoluminal catheter colonization. The aim of our study was to assess the barrier effect of different disinfectable needle-free closed connectors duri...
متن کاملPeripheral intravenous catheter use in Europe: towards the use of safety devices.
BACKGROUND Peripheral intravenous catheters are among the most widely used medical devices in the world. European patients are increasingly aware of the risk of health care associated infections and the role catheters play in their facilitation. AIMS We intend to show that European health care providers are increasingly aware of the occupational risks of bloodborne infections such as HIV and ...
