Frequently asked questions
Does this holder help meet OSHA safety requirements?
Yes, the McKesson Prevent HT is specifically designed to support OSHA safety compliance. By featuring an integrated, holder-based safety hinge that secures the needle after use, it significantly reduces the risk of accidental needlestick injuries and helps prevent re-use of the device.
Is the safety mechanism easy to activate?
Absolutely. The device features an intuitive, one-handed activation design. Simply press the safety cover against a hard surface, and you will receive both an audible and tangible click to confirm that the needle is securely locked.
Will this fit multiple sizes of collection tubes?
Yes, this is a universal-fit holder. It is precision-engineered to be compatible with both standard 13 mm and 16 mm evacuated blood collection tubes, making it a versatile choice for various clinical requirements.
Is the material safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, the holder is manufactured to be not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring it is safe for use with patients who have latex sensitivities.
Is the holder clear for monitoring blood flow?
Yes, it is constructed from high-quality, clear polypropylene. This allows for completely unobstructed visibility of the collection tube and blood flow throughout the venipuncture procedure.
Does the design provide a secure grip for clinicians?
Yes, the holder is ergonomically designed with raised edge tube walls and a tabbed end to ensure a secure, slip-resistant grip for the clinician during the blood collection process.
Can the safety mechanism be deactivated after locking?
No. The safety feature is designed to be a permanent lock. Once the cover is activated and the ‘click’ is heard, the needle is securely shielded for disposal and should not be tampered with.
Are there specific needles recommended for this holder?
While it features a universal threaded female adapter, it is suggested to use this holder with McKesson brand blood collection needles to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
Is the construction durable enough for busy clinics?
Yes, the holder is built for professional, high-volume environments using rigid, durable polypropylene. It is specifically designed to withstand the rigors of routine venipuncture in hospitals and laboratories.
How should I store these holders properly?
To maintain the integrity of the material, please store the holders in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. It is important to keep the packaging away from direct sunlight or harsh fluorescent lighting.
