Venous blood collection tube \u2014 citrate anticoagulant (coagulation testing)
Description
S-Monovette® Citrate 9NC tube is a sterile venous blood collection device containing 0.106 mol/l (3.2%) buffered sodium citrate anticoagulant intended for coagulation testing. The tube is supplied with a green membrane screw cap, paper label and is sized 65 x 13 mm (length x Ø) with a nominal sample volume of 2.9 ml. Tubes are sterile, electron-irradiation sterilised and supplied in batched packs of 50.
Bnefits
- Buffered sodium citrate 0.106 mol/l (3.2%) — standard concentration for coagulation tests (e.g., PT/INR, aPTT)
- Membrane screw cap provides secure, liquid-tight closure and compatibility with S-Monovette handling systems
- Sterile and packaged in batched packs for traceability
- IATA/ADR compliant labelling for transport
Indications
- Collection of venous blood for coagulation studies and haemostasis testing where 0.106 mol/l (3.2%) citrate is indicated
Composition
- Tube material: Polypropylene (PP) — transparent tube body
- Anticoagulant: Buffered sodium citrate 0.106 mol/l (3.2%) (pre-dosed for 2.9 ml draw volume)
- Cap/closure: High density polyethylene (HD-PE) membrane screw cap (green, EU/ISO colour coding)
- Label: Paper label with appropriate fill marks and brown/green print as per product labelling
Formulation
- Sterile, single-use blood collection tube with liquid anticoagulant; membrane screw cap closure and visible fill mark for correct blood:anticoagulant ratio
Packaging
- Pack size: 50 tubes per box (sterile, batched). Carton labelling includes lot, expiry and IFU reference — verify carton for specific catalogue number and batch details
Usage
- Collect venous blood into the tube using appropriate S-Monovette collection technique or compatible devices, ensuring correct fill to the indicated fill mark to maintain specified blood:anticoagulant ratio
- Mix gently by inversion immediately after collection as directed in the IFU to ensure proper anticoagulation (typically 3–5 gentle inversions; follow local lab SOP and IFU)
- Process samples according to laboratory protocol for coagulation testing (centrifugation, timely testing per assay requirements)
Contraindications
- Do not use if sterility of the package is compromised or packaging is damaged
- Not intended for tests requiring anticoagulants other than sodium citrate (use appropriate tube type for those assays)
Adverse Effects
- Risks are related to venepuncture procedure (e.g., haemorrhage, haematoma, infection) rather than the tube itself; improper fill or mixing may produce invalid test results (e.g., incorrect coagulation times)
- Follow standard venepuncture precautions and local incident reporting for any adverse events
Storage Conditions
- Store in original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Refer to product carton and IFU for specified storage temperature range and shelf-life
Duration
Not applicable (single-use diagnostic collection tube used per venepuncture/sample)
Onset
Anticoagulation is immediate upon correct blood draw and mixing; sample suitable for coagulation analysis once properly mixed and processed per laboratory protocol
