BD 36490200 Vacutainer Luer-Lok Access Device

BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok is a type of blood collection device commonly used in healthcare settings. It is designed to safely and efficiently collect blood samples from patients. The Vacutainer Luer-Lok system consists of a plastic tube holder and a needle that is inserted into a patient's vein to draw blood.

The BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok access device is designed for sterile, secure and safe specimen sampling. This device provides the security of a threading locking luer connection, replacing the need for a luer slip device. The BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok access device can be used for accessing blood or urine directly from catheters or Foley ports.

Here are some key features and benefits of BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok:

Luer-Lok Design: The Luer-Lok system incorporates a threaded connection mechanism that securely locks the needle onto the tube holder. This design ensures a tight and reliable connection, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection during blood collection.

Safety: BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok devices are designed with safety features to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries. They may include features such as a safety shield that covers the needle after use, reducing the potential for accidental needlestick injuries to healthcare professionals.

Compatibility: BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok is compatible with a wide range of collection tubes, allowing for flexibility in collecting different types of blood samples. The system accommodates various tube sizes and types, including those with additives or specific requirements for different laboratory tests.

Standardization: BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok follows industry standards, making it widely recognized and compatible with many blood collection systems. This standardization helps ensure consistency in blood collection practices across healthcare facilities.

Improving blood sample quality from IVC collection The BD VacutainerLuer-Lok Access Device (LLAD) can replace other methods such as syringes and luer adapters, and can reduce haemolysis rates from 8.1% to 1.4%. (58 samples out of 716 to 9 samples out of 630)1. Combining the BD LLAD with a sterilised discard tube together with a partial draw tube reduces haemolysis further.

Improving urine sample collection through Foley catheters The BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok Access Device enables the transfer of a urine sample directly from a Foley catheter to the Urinalysis/ Microbiology determination tube. This means fewer steps, less sample manipulation and reduced risk of contamination. Security of the threaded BD Luer-Lok mechanism helps ensure that a closed system is maintained. This allows sample integrity to be maintained and can help prevent microbial overgrowth or false positives.
