Frequently asked questions
Does the lancet feature automatic needle retraction?
Yes, the McKesson Prevent HP features an advanced automatic needle retraction and lock-out mechanism. Once the push-button is activated, the needle immediately retracts into the housing and locks, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental needlestick injuries and cross-infection.
Is the design ergonomic for steady handling?
Absolutely. The device is specifically designed with a rounded, ergonomic shape and includes non-slip ribbing on the grip. These features allow for stable, comfortable control during the blood sampling procedure.
Are these lancets ready for immediate use?
Yes, they are ready to use right out of the box. No assembly, setup, or complex preparation is required, making them ideal for high-volume clinical or laboratory environments.
What is the specific penetration depth of this model?
This 21-gauge lancet has a consistent penetration depth of 1.8 mm, ensuring reliable and precise capillary blood sampling.
How can I quickly identify the needle gauge?
The lancets are color-coded in green, providing immediate visual confirmation that you are using the 21-gauge specification. This streamlining helps maintain efficiency and accuracy in fast-paced clinical settings.
Can these lancets be resterilized for multiple uses?
No. These are strictly single-use medical devices. They must be disposed of after one use to maintain safety and sterilization standards. Do not attempt to resterilize.
Is this configuration suitable for high-volume needs?
Yes, the product is provided in a 2000-unit case, which is specifically configured for hospitals, clinics, and laboratories that require a high-volume supply of reliable, safety-focused lancets.
How simple is the activation process?
The activation is designed for efficiency, utilizing a simple, one-step push-button mechanism. This intuitive process ensures consistent results and minimizes the time required for each sampling procedure.
Are these devices safe for standard infection control protocols?
Yes, they are designed to integrate seamlessly into standard infection control protocols. The lock-out technology ensures the sharp edge is securely enclosed both before and after use, providing a high level of protection for both clinicians and patients.
Is the 21-gauge needle suitable for consistent blood flow?
Yes, the 21-gauge needle is engineered to be perfectly suited for precise and consistent capillary blood flow, meeting the professional standards required for medical diagnostics.
