The integrated needle shield device on the safePICO self-fill syringe lowers the risk of needlestick injury. The vented safeTIPCAP limits the risk of contact wiht patient blood while helping you to safely remove air bubbles in the sample. Manual mixing and automatic mixing The built-in mixing ball in the safePICO self-fill syringe aids in the manual mixing of the sample. However, when you mix your sample manually, make sure you don’t mix it too vigorously to reduce the risk of hemolysis. Using automatic mixing integrated in your blood gas analyzer aids in obtaining a homogenous sample. In fact, studies comparing manual and automatic mixing have demonstrated that automatic mixing is superior to manual mixing in producing a homogeneous sample and obtaining correct results. Barcode connects patient with sample The safePICO self-fill syringe is already barcoded, helping you match the sample with the correct patient. 1st Automatic combines blood gas analyzers, pre-barcoded safePICO syringes and POC data management.
