Aspiration method

... the gentle technique for routine blood collectionThe aspiration technique is the method of choice for gentle blood collection from any vein condition and is ideal for fragile veins at risk to collapse.

Engineered Safety – The Flexible System

Demographic development shows that our population is growing older which places a very specific demand on medical care and treatment. Blood collection in particular is affected because difficult vein conditions are increasingly noted with elderly patients. Blood collection may also be complicated from children with very small or fragile veins.The answer to all these challenges is the S-Monovette® with its variable collection techniques combined in one system. As required, phlebotomists can select either the aspiration or the vacuum method.

It’s the individual that matters

Vacuum method

... always a “fresh” vacuumUsing the S-Monovette® with the vacuum technique ensures that a “fresh” vacuum is generated immediately prior to blood collection, providing a precise filling volume as with the aspiration method.

We already know that 47.3%* of all patients are

under 5 years, or

over 65 years.* Association of German Hospitals Zahlen, Daten, Fakten 2009

This shows that gentle blood collection is essential for maintaining optimal results.

S-Monovette® – Convincing Arguments for a Safe System

S-Monovette® & Safety-Needle/Safety-Multifly®

A safe, secure combination

The Safety-Needle or Safety- Multifly® needle is safely and securely connected to the S-Monovette® by a 3-pin locking mechanism.

11

The Safety-Needle is always ready for use. No need to assemble it with a needle holder. Only pre-assembled systems like the S-Monovette® Safety-Needle provide efficient protection against the risk of exposure likely to be caused by contaminated, re-used needle holders. Re-use of the needle holder is excluded.

Safety-Needle – Safety for routine blood collection

Safe puncturing

Optimal packaging and material

The packaging and tubing are tailored to the requirements of blood collection and subsequent disposal in sharps containers. The kink-proof tubing enables trouble-free venipuncture and safe disposal in a sharps container.

12

S-Monovette® – Convincing Arguments for a Safe System

Visible control of successful venipuncture

The first blood drop immediately enters the S-Monovette® upon successful venipuncture with the assembled Safety-Needle, so the phlebotomist can be sure that the vein has been punctured.

Cost savings from haemolysis rate reduction

Studies* reveal that gentle aspiration of the blood sample as is possible using the S-Monovette® or a disposable syringe enables reduced haemolysis rates compared to blood collection with vacuum systems only. Strongly haemolytic samples, in particular, provide erroneous laboratory results requiring repeat sampling. With the S-Monovette® system, haemolysis rates can be reduced, resulting in the following decisive benefits:

Reduced expenditure in time and labour costsReduced material costNo additional reagent cost

Sample without haemolysis Strongly haemolytic sample

S-Monovette®

A Range of Sizes and Preparations

Colour codes that suit your requirements

15

S-Monovette® – Colour code

Serum (Clotting Activator)

S-Monovettes contain beads coated with a clotting activator (silicate). As a rule, this clotting additive enables the blood to clot within 20 to 30 minutes and the sample can be centrifuged. The beads form a layer between the blood clot and serum during centrifugation.

Serum-Gel (Clotting Activator)

In addition to the beads, this S-Monovette® contains a polyacrylic ester gel that, due to its density, forms a stable separating layer between the blood clot and the serum during centrifugation and serves as a barrier during sample transport and storage. Compliance with the recommended storage conditions will keep most parameters stable for up to 48 hours.

Plasma / Plasma-Gel (Lithium Heparin)

Heparin, at an average concentration of 16 I.U./ml, is used as an anticoagulant for plasma generation. Heparin is coated onto beads which form a layer between the plasma and the corpuscular components during centrifugation. The function of the plasma gel is identical to serum-gel.

Haematology (Potassium EDTA)

EDTA K3 is pre-dosed as a liquid preparation in an average concentration of 1.6 mg EDTA/ml blood. The maximum dilution caused by the liquid preparation is lower than 1%. Although the EDTA preparation may dry during storage, this does not in any way impair its anticoagulant effect. An S-Monovette® with EDTA K2 and gel is available for use in molecular virus diagnostics.

Glucose Determination (Fluoride)

The S-Monovette® for glucose determination contains fluoride (1.0 mg/ml blood) as a glycolysis inhibitor and EDTA (1.2 mg/ml blood) as an anticoagulant in a liquid preparation. The glucose concentration in the sample is stabilised for a period of 24 hours.

Coagulation (Sodium Citrate)

Citrate, pre-dosed as a 0.106 molar solution (equivalent to 3.2% trisodium citrate), is used for all physiological coagulation studies (e.g. Quick, PTT, TZ, Fibrinogen). A mixing ratio of 1:10 (1 part citrate + 9 parts blood) must be strictly observed.

ESR (Sodium Citrate)

Citrate, pre-dosed as a 0.106 trisodium citrate molar solution is used for ESR determination. A mixing ratio of 1:5 (1 part citrate + 4 parts blood) must be strictly observed. For ESR, we recommend the S-Monovette® Sediplus® system (Westergren method) or the enclosed S-Sedivette® system (modified Westergren method).

Colour codes that suit your requirements According to EN 14820, single-use containers for human venous specimen collection, an international agreement regarding a particular colour code is not in effect at the moment.Accordingly, Sarstedt provides both the EU and US colour code – to accommodate your individual requirements!

Special S-Monovette® & S-Sedivette®

S-Monovette® ThromboExact

... for suspected pseudothrombocytopenia

Pseudothrombocytopenia, a preanalytical phenomenon, describes an erroneously low thrombocyte count. Generally, pseudothrombocytopenia is caused by thrombocyte aggregation. Early detection of this phenomenon ensures that the diagnostic and therapeutic consequences of a thrombocytopenia misdiagnosis are avoided. The S-Monovette® ThromboExact has been approved to prevent the formation of thrombocyte aggregation. Apart from the most common aggregation caused by EDTA, multiple aggregation (e.g. heparin and/ or citrate) has also been documented. A correct thrombocyte count is possible for up to 12 hours after blood collection.

y

S-Monovette® Homocysteine Z-Gel

... for homocysteine determination

Correct preanalytical conditions are critical for homocysteine determination because erythrocytes continue to produce homocysteine in the sample after blood collection. Non-stabilised homocysteine diffuses into the plasma leading to a significant increase in homocysteine concentration of approximately 10%/h in the sample material. A specially developed stabiliser keeps the homocysteine concentration relatively constant for up to eight hours after blood collection at room temperature. Centrifugation of the blood sample within this 8-hour period results in an inert gel barrier that safely separates the serum from the blood clot, ensuring further stability of the homocysteine values for a total of 96 hours.

The PFA 100 measuring system from Siemens requires a special, buffered citrate for precise thrombocyte function analysis. The preparation of the S-Monovette® PFA with a 3.8% citrate buffer (0.129 mol/l) and a pH of 5.5 was specially designed to comply with these requirements. With its unique colour code, the S-Monovette® PFA is clearly distinguished from standard citrate tubes for routine diagnostics.

S-Monovette® Hirudin

Platelet inhibitors (e.g. aspirin) are used to reduce the risk of thrombosis for hospitalised patients after surgery and also for a multitude of therapies for out-patients. To monitor the efficiency (response/non-response) of a platelet inhibiting pharmaceutical drug, either during its development, in routine therapy, or to prove or exclude disorders in thrombocyte function, hirudin has become the anticoagulant of choice. Unlike citrate or heparin, hirudin prevents blood clotting by direct thrombin inhibition, enabling thrombocyte function diagnostics in a native condition. The new S-Monovette® Hirudin has been developed in cooperation with Dynabyte/Verum Diagnostica to measure thrombocyte activity on the Multiplate® (multiple platelet function analyser).
