Frequently asked questions
What safety features do these lancets offer?
The BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancets are engineered with several key features focused on safety and compliance:
- Automatic Retraction: The primary safety mechanism is the automatic retraction of the lancet into the device immediately after use. This design prevents the possibility of device reuse and significantly reduces the risk of accidental needlestick injuries for the clinician.
- Enhanced Traceability: For adherence to safety protocols, every individual lancet has its lot number laser-etched onto its surface, allowing for enhanced tracking and monitoring.
- Puncture Consistency: The contact activation method ensures a highly consistent puncture depth. This feature minimizes patient discomfort and reduces the likelihood of needing a repeat puncture during blood collection, contributing to a safer and smoother experience.
Are multiple blood flow options available?
Yes, these BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancets are offered in three different configurations to ensure you can collect the appropriate blood volume for various procedures.
A key benefit of all variants is the Contact Activation method, which guarantees a consistent puncture depth, leading to reliable specimen collection and minimizing the need for repeat punctures.
The available variants are:
| Flow Rate | Depth & Gauge | Color Code |
|---|---|---|
| Low Flow | 30 G x 1.5 mm depth | Purple |
| Medium Flow | 21 G x 1.8 mm depth | Pink |
| High Flow | 1.5 mm x 2.0 mm depth | Blue |
How are the lancets packaged?
The BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancets are typically configured for bulk clinical use, though multiple options may be available. The standard packaging includes the following:
- Each primary package contains 200 units.
- A full case configuration includes 10 primary packs.
- This results in a total of 2,000 lancets per case.
Is each lancet individually traceable?
Yes, the BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancets are designed for enhanced traceability.
Each individual lancet has its lot number laser-etched directly onto the device. This feature simplifies tracking and inventory management, ensuring easy accountability and record-keeping for every unit used in a clinical setting.
Is the lancet ergonomically designed for comfort?
Yes, the BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancet features an innovative ergonomic design. This design is specifically aimed at ensuring a comfortable grip for the user during the procedure, which helps enhance control and ease of use when obtaining blood samples.
Does the lancet design improve visibility?
Yes, the BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancet is specifically designed to enhance visibility for the clinician, allowing for more precise blood collection.
This is achieved because:
- The contact activation design covers only a small area at the puncture point.
- This minimal coverage provides the clinician with improved, unobstructed visibility of the puncture site.
- Enhanced visibility aids in accurate positioning of the lancet, helping to ensure consistent results.
What specific sizes and flow rates are offered?
The BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancets are available in three distinct, color-coded options, ensuring the optimal capillary blood volume is collected for various testing needs. This variety, combined with the contact activation feature, provides a consistent puncture depth.
You can select the appropriate configuration based on the table below:
| Color | Flow Rate | Gauge & Puncture Depth |
|---|---|---|
| Purple | Low Flow | 30 G x 1.5 mm |
| Pink | Medium Flow | 21 G x 1.8 mm |
| Blue | High Flow | 1.5 mm x 2.0 mm |
Selecting the right size helps minimize the need for repeat punctures.
How does contact activation improve sampling?
The contact activation mechanism of BD Microtainer Lancets ensures a consistent puncture depth every time. This design feature significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of blood collection by minimizing the need for repeat punctures, leading to a more positive patient experience and greater comfort.
How does the lancet ensure puncture consistency?
The BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancets are engineered to maximize consistency through their primary activation feature.
This is achieved using the Contact Activation mechanism, which is designed to facilitate a highly reliable and consistent puncture depth every time. This consistent depth helps minimize pain for the patient and significantly reduces the likelihood of requiring a secondary puncture to obtain the sample.
Are these lancets safe for single-use?
Yes, safety is a primary feature of the BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancets, ensuring they are strictly for single-use.
This is achieved through an automatic retraction mechanism:
- Immediately following activation, the lancet automatically retracts into the device housing.
- This process permanently disables the device, effectively preventing accidental reuse and significantly minimizing the risk of cross-contamination in clinical settings.
