A device for receiving a body fluid for analysis, comprising a container and at least one sample-receiving unit which can be impinged upon by the body fluid at a receiving point and which can be extracted from a guide chamber of the container by means of a drive unit. According to the invention, a coupling device is provided in order to couple the sample receiving unit to the drive unit to ensure back and forth movement between the guide chamber and the receiving point.

An auto-retractable blood collection needle, including: a needle holder including a first tube, a second tube and a holder tail; a needle in stalled in the first tube; a built-in sliding sleeve which is elongated and through and has a C-shaped cross section; a needle shield which is hollow and elongated; and a spring sheathed on the first tube. The second tube is installed in the built-in sliding sleeve and is capable of sliding back and forth. The built-in sliding sleeve is installed in the needle shield and is capable of sliding back and forth. A locking mechanism is formed by the holder tail and the needle shield. When the holder tail is unlocked from the needle shield, a force of the spring pushes the second tube to slide backward, and then the built-in sliding sleeve is driven to slide rearward to lock with the needle shield.

A shieldable needle device (12) with a needle cannula (28), a hub (44) supporting the needle cannula, and a tip guard (24) axially movable along the needle cannula where, upon transition, the tip guard protectively surrounds the distal end (42) of the needle cannula. The needle device includes a pair of wings (60) extending laterally from opposing sides of the tip guard and connected to the hub. The pair of wings are transitionable between a first position and a second position, wherein transition of the pair of wings advances the tip guard from a proximal position to a shielding distal position. The wings include protrusions (66) which cause the longitudinal axis of the needle cannula to become offset from the opening (52) of the tip guard during advancement of the tip guard preventing the needle cannula from being reinserted through the tip guard after the tip guard has been transitioned to the distal position.

The present invention discloses a push-type safety protection mechanism of a blood collection needle. The push-type safety protection mechanism comprises a sleeve member and a valve core member, wherein the valve core member is provided with three parts, namely a needle seat part, a sleeving part and a stopping part; a plurality of limiting grooves is formed in the stopping part; the sleeve member is provided with two parts, namely a first sleeve part positioned at a front section and a second sleeve part positioned at a rear section; an elastic button higher than the side wall of the first sleeve part is arranged on the side wall of the valve core member; a limiting opening matched with the elastic button is formed in the side wall of the first sleeve part; a limiting sliding cavity for accommodating the elastic button and the valve core member is formed from a position of the first sleeve part from the limiting opening to the inner side of the second sleeve part, and the limiting sliding cavity guides and limits front-back movements of the elastic button and the valve core member; and a plurality of elastic limiting protrusions matched with the limiting grooves is arranged on the inner wall of the tail sliding cavity of the second sleeve part. Through the design of the elastic button, medical staff can operate the blood collection needle with the left hand or the right hand alone during use.

An ergonomic suction syringe and method for performing medical procedures in which suction is generated and can be delivered to a medical device by a single-handed compression motion, with suction actuated by forward motion of a piston into a cylinder, and in which suction can be maintained essentially permanently once activated without any further effort by the operator, even hands-free.

A syringe assembly includes (i) a syringe with a cylindrical body, luer tip at a first end, finger grip at a second end and a cannula extending from the luer tip into the cylindrical body, and (ii) a plunger unit having an adapter portion, receiving cavity, finger grip and piston. A channel extends the length of the adapter portion to receive the cannula in one end and a variety of connectors, valves and/or syringes in a second end. The end of the channel accessible in the receiving cavity mates with or engages any number of commercially available valves, connectors and/or syringes while the luer tip similarly connects to any number of valves, catheters, connectors, etc., depending on the task being undertaken with the syringe assembly.

Embodiments of the present invention provide magnetic lancet devices and methods for driving a lancet. For example, a magnetic lancet device may include a driving mechanism having a plurality of magnets and a lancet coupled to the driving mechanism. A magnetic interaction between the plurality of magnets is configured to drive the lancet from an engaged position to a penetrating position.

A system for blood sample collection including a container assembly having a cap and defining a reservoir, the cap disposed at a first end of the container assembly, and a fluid access assembly including a housing defining an interior, a fluid access component, a fluid connector component, and an engagement feature, the fluid access component extending from a first end of the housing into the interior of the housing, and the fluid access component defining a lumen. The system also includes a connection portion having a distal end and a proximal end, the connection portion including a connector interface disposed at the distal end and a fluid path member fluidly coupled to the connector interface and configured to be coupled to the fluid connector component of the fluid access assembly, wherein the fluid path member is configured to reduce hemolysis of a blood sample passing therethrough.

A blood draw device for use with a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) includes a catheter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall defining a lumen, a secondary catheter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall defining a lumen, an introducer having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall defining an inner volume configured to movably receive the catheter, and an actuator movably coupled to the introducer. The actuator having a first portion disposed outside of the introducer and a second portion disposed in the inner volume of the introducer. The second portion of the actuator having a main body with a first height and an extension with a second height. The main body and the extension define an opening, with the catheter and the secondary catheter attached to the actuator and in fluid communication with the opening.

A blood collection device for medical use having a body with longitudinal flow channel and a needle retraction chamber, a slide assembly slidably engaging the body in a plane transverse to the flow channel through the body, a forwardly projecting nose, a device stabilization member with flexible wings projecting oppositely from a cylindrical hub attached to the nose, a rearwardly biased venipuncture needle projecting forwardly from the nose, and a tubular needle cap having proximal and distal ends, wherein the proximal end of the tubular needle cap is insertable between and is releasably held by the nose and the cylindrical hub. Cooperatively configured sets of ramps and stop surfaces limit lateral sliding movement of the body relative to the slide assembly.
