Sodium Heparin Blood Collection Tubes are used for collecting blood samples where plasma is required for testing. Sodium heparin acts as an anticoagulant, preventing blood from clotting. These tubes are ideal for:

  1. Chemistry Panels: Assessing metabolic and organ functions.
  2. Electrolyte Testing: Measuring ions like sodium, potassium, and chloride.
  3. Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs): Analyzing oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
  4. Toxicology: Detecting certain drugs and substances.

By preventing clotting, sodium heparin ensures that plasma is available for accurate and efficient analysis.

BD Vacutainer Sodium Heparin Blood Collection Tubes are meticulously designed for high-precision plasma testing. With a 6 mL capacity, these tubes are the go-to choice for reliable results in a variety of laboratory and clinical settings, ensuring the integrity of your samples with ease and safety.

Details and Features

  • Product Number: 367878
  • Dimensions: 13mm x 100mm, featuring a 6 mL draw volume ideal for comprehensive plasma analyses.
  • Sodium Heparin Additive: Contains sodium heparin, an anticoagulant that prevents clotting without interfering with cellular components.
  • Green Cap: Color-coded for easy identification and streamlined laboratory workflow.
  • Packaging: Supplied in boxes of 100, optimized for high-volume usage and efficient storage.

Mechanism of Action

Sodium heparin works by inactivating thrombin and factor Xa, preventing the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, which stops the blood clotting process. This maintains the sample in a fluid state, ideal for various plasma-based assays.

Directions for Use

  1. Preparation: Gather necessary equipment and ensure the patient is prepared for venipuncture.
  2. Collection: Perform venipuncture, allowing the tube to fill to the 6 mL mark, ensuring the correct blood-to-additive ratio.
  3. Mixing: Gently invert the tube 8-10 times immediately after collection to ensure the blood mixes thoroughly with the heparin.
  4. Processing: Proceed with laboratory testing as per protocol, ensuring prompt transport and handling.

Warnings

  • Proper Volume: Confirm the tube is filled to the designated volume to maintain sample integrity.
  • Handling and Disposal: Exercise caution to prevent needle sticks and dispose of all sharps in appropriate containers.
  • Storage Conditions: Store between 4°C and 25°C, shielded from direct sunlight and extreme conditions.
  • Single Use: Intended for one-time use only. Do not attempt to reuse or sterilize.
  • Expiration Date: Use before the expiration date on the packaging to ensure performance and safety.

FAQs About Phlebotomy Supplies
  • What Supplies Are Needed for Phlebotomy?

    Phlebotomy needles & butterfly sets (multi-sample, straight, winged infusion) Vacutainer tubes & collection vials Tourniquets Alcohol prep pads & antiseptic wipes Sterile gauze pads & bandages Sharps containers Gloves (nitrile or latex-free) Needle holders/adapters Syringes (for specific collections) Blood culture bottles (as needed) Lab labels and requisitions

  • Is a Phlebotomist Higher than a CNA?

    Phlebotomists and CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) have different qualifications: Phlebotomists specialize in blood collection and laboratory testing. CNAs provide basic patient care. Neither is “higher,” but a phlebotomist’s work is more specialized in specimen collection.

  • What's the Hardest Part of Phlebotomy?

    Finding veins in challenging patients (elderly, children, dehydrated) Managing patient anxiety or needle phobia Maintaining infection control & handling biohazards

  • What Are the 7 Duties of a Phlebotomist?

    Preparing phlebotomy supplies and verifying test orders Patient identification and consent Blood collection using proper technique Labeling and documenting blood samples Ensuring patient comfort and post-draw care Maintaining infection control and safety Transporting or processing specimens for laboratory testing

  • How Many Patients Do a Phlebotomist Draw in One Hour?

    Experienced phlebotomists may draw 10–20 patients per hour, depending on patient population and collection complexity.

  • What Shoes Should a Phlebotomist Wear?

    Comfortable, closed-toe, non-slip shoes are required for safety and long shifts in clinical or lab settings.

  • What Is the First Thing a Phlebotomist Should Do?

    Verify the patient’s identity and confirm the blood test order before preparing supplies or starting the draw.

  • Can a Phlebotomist Give Shots?

    Phlebotomists generally do not administer shots/vaccinations. Their role is focused on blood collection, but in some states/countries—additional certification may allow limited injections.

  • What Is the Number One Rule in Phlebotomy?

    Accurate patient identification and labeling is the #1 rule. Failure here is the greatest source of medical errors.

  • What Is the Difference Between a Phlebotomist 1 and 2?

    Phlebotomist 1: Entry-level, basic blood draws, routine collections. Phlebotomist 2: Advanced; may draw pediatric, geriatric, or “difficult stick” patients, process special specimens, train others, or manage supplies.

  • Key Features & Benefits
