Engineered Safety – The Flexible System It’s the individual that matters Demographic development shows that our population is growing older which places a very specific demand on medical care and treatment. Blood collection in particular is affected because difficult vein conditions are increasingly noted with elderly patients. Blood collection may also be complicated from children with very small or fragile veins. The answer to all these challenges is the S-Monovette® with its variable collection techniques combined in one system. As required, phlebotomists can select either the aspiration or...

S-Monovette® – Aspiration & Vacuum Method Aspiration method 1 The S-Monovette® and Safety-Needle are assembled immediately prior to blood collection. 2 Slowly withdrawing the plunger ensures gentle blood flow. For multiple sampling, the next S-Monovettes are connected to the Safety-Needle and samples collected as described. 3 When blood collection is complete, the last S-Monovette® is removed from the Safety-Needle and the needle withdrawn from the vein. 4 For enhanced security during transport and centrifugation, the piston is locked in the base of the S-Monovette® and the plunger broken off....

S-Monovette® – Convincing Arguments for a Safe System S-Monovette® & Safety-Needle/Safety-Multifly® A safe, secure combination The Safety-Needle or SafetyMultifly® needle is safely and securely connected to the S-Monovette® by a 3-pin locking mechanism. 10

S-Monovette® – Convincing Arguments for a Safe System Visible control of successful venipuncture The first blood drop immediately enters the S-Monovette® upon successful venipuncture with the assembled Safety-Needle, so the phlebotomist can be sure that the vein has been punctured. ✓ Cost savings from haemolysis rate reduction Studies* reveal that gentle aspiration of the blood sample as is possible using the S-Monovette® or a disposable syringe enables reduced haemolysis rates compared to blood collection with vacuum systems only. Strongly haemolytic samples, in particular, provide erroneous...

Cost savings using the Safety-Needle 140 Safety-Needles of the S-Monovette® system fit into a Multi-Safe disposal box. In comparison, five times the number of disposal boxes are needed to discard the same quantity of needles from vacuum systems. Consequently, using the S-Monovette® system involves significantly reduced disposal costs. Apart from the cost savings, the system also serves to decrease waste for an improved eco-balance. S-Monovette® Vacuum system 140 = 1 box 140 = 5 boxes Packaging • User-friendly box packaging for environment-conscious disposal • Space-saving storage thanks to compact...
