The components of vacuum blood collection system are: vacuum blood collection tube, needle (including straight needle and scalp blood collection needle), and needle holder. Among which vacuum blood collection tube is the main part of the system, used for collection and containment of blood specimen. A certain amount of negative pressure has been pre-loaded during the process of production, therefore, due to the effect of negative pressure inside the tube, as soon as the blood collection needle penetrates the blood vessel, the blood will flow into the tube automatically; at the same time, different additives have been pre-filled in the tube, which can fully satisfy multiple integrated blood test in clinical practice. It has been applied as an essential medical device for blood test in hospitals, belonging to consuming products. As a swift and accurate approach to clinical blood collecting and testing, vacuum blood collection device has brought a revolutionary innovation against the traditional syringe blood collection approach.
Medium sized or above hospitals in some big or medium sized cities in China have already adopted vacuum blood collection approach; however, currently, China¡¯s vacuum blood collection market is dominated by imported products. The completion and operation of Sekisui Medical Technology (CHINA) Ltd. have thoroughly altered the current structure of vacuum blood collection product¡¯s market. With stable and excellent quality, homemade vacuum blood collection system will gradually replace imported products and enter into international market.
