Evacuated Tubes Simplify Blood Collection

• Tubes can be changed while needle and plastic holder remain in place on patient's arm
• Closures are color coded

Plastic Evacuated Tubes

• Made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
• Provide a safer work environment for all personnel by (1) reducing risk of tube breakage during handling; (2) eliminating breakage when tubes are centrifuged at higher speeds; and (3) eliminating breakage or chipping of tube rims when stopper is removed and reinserted
• In addition to reducing potential injuries, fewer tube breakages result in less workflow interruption and fewer patient redraws, providing smoother day-to-day operation
