Can the BD Vacutainer® Push Button Blood Collection Set (PBBCS) and the BD Vacutainer® Safety-Lok™ Blood Collection Set (SLBCS) be used with a syringe?
The BD Vacutainer® Push Button Blood Collection Set and the BD Vacutainer® Safety-Lok™ Blood Collection Set can be used with a syringe when it is used without a luer adapter. The syringe will attach to the female end of the BD Vacutainer® Push Button Blood Collection Set or the Safety-Lok™ Blood Collection Set. Once the blood has been drawn into the syringe, ensure that the safety mechanism on the winged needle set is properly activated. The use of any needle for the purpose of transferring blood directly from a syringe to a specimen container continues to be prohibited by Federal OSHA. The syringe should be attached to a device, such as the BD™ Blood Transfer Device, that meets all procedural and safety standards for blood transfer.
