How to Use

1. Prepare the Site: Cleanse the arterial puncture site (e.g., radial artery) with an appropriate antiseptic solution and allow it to dry completely.
2. Position the Patient: Ensure the patient's arm is comfortably positioned and stabilized for arterial access.
3. Perform Puncture: Carefully perform arterial puncture according to established clinical protocols, ensuring proper angle and depth with the BD Eclipse Needle.
4. Collect Sample: Allow the arterial pressure to fill the syringe to the desired volume (typically 1.6ML or as per protocol, up to 3ML capacity).
5. Activate Safety: Immediately after withdrawing the needle from the artery, activate the BD Eclipse safety mechanism by pushing the plunger fully to engage the safety shield over the needle.
6. Apply Pressure: Apply firm pressure to the puncture site for several minutes to prevent hematoma formation.
7. Cap Syringe: Securely attach the Hemogard Like Tip Cap to the Luer-Lok connector to prevent leakage and maintain sample integrity.
8. Mix Sample: Gently roll the syringe between your palms for 5-10 seconds to ensure adequate mixing of blood with the heparin.
9. Transport and Analyze: Transport the sample to the laboratory promptly for analysis, following local guidelines for temperature and timing.
