Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a disposable safety device to transfer the blood in a container.
  • Such devices are intended for particular to transfer blood between segments sample of a blood bag and a tube under empty or ordinary, or to deposit calibrated drops on an analysis slide, or supports commonly called BEDSIDE TEST (trade name).
  • BEDSIDE TEST trade name
  • the present invention also allows to transfer calibrated drops of blood from a vacuum tube on an analysis slide or a Bedside Test (name commercial).
  • Universally used blood bags in blood transfusion are extended by " segments ", plastic pipes containing the same blood as the pocket, and used for sampling (for testing without reopening the pocket.
  • Another problem concerns the removal of a drop only on an analysis slide or test type BEDSIDE TEST. It is not easy to form a clean and calibrated drop with a segment cut to scissors or pierced with a normally intended needle for another use.
  • the object of the present invention is to offer a device with great security for the user, avoiding in particular everything risk of contamination.
  • the device in its most general realization is constituted by a body hollow with a transverse middle partition crossed by a beveled needle at one of its ends.
  • This hollow body presents on the side of the beveled end of the needle a tubular element of a section smaller than the section of a finger, and a length determined so as to prevent the finger from user cannot reach the beveled end of the needle.
  • the tubular element has internal fins substantially radial, for centering the segment (the fins direct the end of the segment on the bevel of the needle).
  • the hollow body present on the side opposite the needle end a second diameter tubular element bevelled greater than the section of the opposite segment, the end not bevelled from the needle opening into said second tubular element.
  • This variant corresponds to a device multi-purpose allowing the transfer of a drop of blood from a blood bag or vacuum tube on an analysis slide or a BEDSIDE TEST, as well as the blood transfer between a blood bag segment and a vacuum tube.
  • the second element tubular has a sleeve surrounding the base of the needle, said sleeve serving to press the flexible part of the caps of all tube models under vacuum.
  • the invention makes it possible to transfer blood from a blood bag segment in ordinary tubes of outside diameter 10 and 12 mm.
  • the wide part of the part (non-bevelled side of the needle) has internal centering fins.
  • a 10 mm tube glass or plastic
  • one of the elements tubular at least has a non-frontal end plane.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of realization in a first use consisting in take a drop from a blood bag segment (1) of blood (2) to be deposited on an analysis slide (3).
  • the device of which Figures 2 and 3 show longitudinal and sectional views respectively transverse, is constituted by a hollow body (4) in transparent plastic material, having a first tubular element (5) and a second tubular element (6) separated by a middle partition.
  • the pocket segment to blood is pierced by a needle (8) having a beveled end (9).
  • the tubular element (5) surrounding the end bevelled (9) of the needle (8) has a section interior corresponding substantially to the diameter outside of the blood bag segments.
  • the length of this tubular element (5) is determined so that that it forms a protective sleeve extending beyond from the beveled end (9) of the needle (8), so to prevent the user's finger from coming accidentally injuring yourself on the needle.
  • the part of the needle extending to the inside of the tubular element (5) is about 15 millimeters, while the length of the element. tubular (5) is about 30 millimeters.
  • the inner wall of the tubular element (5) has radial fins (12, 13) ensuring the centering of the segment of the blood bag.
  • the device On the opposite side, the device has a tubular element (6) surrounding the second part (14) needle ending in one end (15) no beveled.
  • the needle is surrounded at the base of this second part by a support sleeve (16) whose outer section is less than the flexible part of caps of all models of vacuum tubes.
  • This sleeve has radial fins (17, 18) ensuring centering by pressing on the wall inside the neck of small section tubes (diameter 10 mm outside).
  • the tubular element (6) also has radial fins (19, 20) ensuring centering by support on the outer wall of the large tube neck section (outside diameter 12mm).
  • Figure 4 shows the use of the device for transferring a drop of blood from a vacuum tube (21) to an analysis slide (3), a BEDSIDE TEST, or any plan.
  • the vacuum tube (21) is pushed into the tubular element (6) and the end not bevelled from the needle (8) crosses the plug.
  • the flexible part of the tube plug under vacuum comes into contact with the support sleeve (16), which has the effect of increasing the pressure to inside the vacuum tube (21) until to bead a drop of blood (22).
  • Releasing the pressure on the vacuum tube (21) the pressure becomes again normal, and any excess blood will be drawn in the interior of the vacuum tube (21), which guarantees perfect hygiene of the device.
  • Figure 5 shows another use of the device according to the invention, for decanting blood contained in a blood bag (1) in a blood tube test (23).
  • Another use of the device according to the invention is the transfer blood contained in a blood bag (1) in a blood tube depression (21).
