lab analysis.
Accurate blood pressure measurement with components that simplify
set-up.
One-handed operation of reservoir syringe makes the system easy to

PROBLEM - NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS/VASCULAR LINE SEPSIS
Stopcocks (used for injection of medications, administration of IV infusions, and collection of blood samples) represent a potential portal of entry for micro-organisms into vascular access catheters and IV fluids.
PROBLEM - NEEDLESTICKS AND EXPOSURE
OSHA estimates that 5.6 million workers in the healthcare industry and related occupations are at risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens, including HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.
REGULATION
"All procedures involving blood or other potentially infectious materials shall be performed in such a manner as to minimize the splashing, spraying, spattering, and generation of droplets of these substances."
"Employers who have employees with occupational exposure to blood-borne pathpgens must consider and, where appropriate, use effective engineering controls, including safer medical devices, in order to reduce the risk of injury from needlesticks and from other sharp medical instruments."
