This addition marks a significant step into better patient care, less bio-hazardous waste, and a reduction in blood collection volumes in the healthcare industry. Greiner Bio-One offers a complete line of low-volume tubes with draw volumes of 1mL to 2.5mL to facilitate reduction in phlebotomy volumes and, subsequently, the instances of hospital-acquired anemia which can be caused by excessive blood draws. These blood tubes offer functional compatibility with instrumentation by maintaining the normal 13 x 75 mm tube size and providing optimal blood to additive ratios for drawing reduced blood volumes.

Retractable Technologies, Inc.
The VanishPoint blood collection set (BCS) is a novel safety blood collection device that features automated in-vein retraction, which virtually eliminates exposure to the contaminated needle. The unique design has integrated finger grips that allow for handling ease. The automated needle retraction is activated by depressing a retraction trigger located near the finger grip area, allowing for easy one-handed activation, without changes in hand position, while reducing the risk of inadvertent activation. In addition, the needle retraction automatically clamps the tubing, reducing the risk of exposurel to blood. This product is not made with DEHP or PVC.

Visiun, Inc.
Visiun’s Performance Insight provides laboratory managers with access to detailed analytics and visual insight into their daily specimen collection processes, including specimen defect capture.

Performance Insight captures real-time data, allowing laboratory management to identify important trends. Performance Insight provides access to real-time analytics so that laboratory managers can identify specimen hemolysis and QNS rates in a matter of seconds, and monitors the workflow and productivity of staffed phlebotomists daily on an hourly basis and alerts hospital laboratories if specimens are not being processed and collected in a timely manner. Its Turnaround Time module offers detailed analytics into the percentage of service commitments achieved, while composite reports look at the entire value stream and pinpoint where a slowdown occurred from the time the test was ordered, to the time it was collected, to result reporting.
