BD Vacutainer® Urine Collection System

BD Urine Collection Products offer all the advantages of a closed system, for both patients and healthcare workers alike. Patients receive more reliable results, due to decreased preanalytical variability. Healthcare workers derive more safety on the job because they don’t need to pour potentially contaminated urine into tubes, while the efficiency of the closed system eliminates the need for re-testing and re-labeling and reduces the potential for preanalytical errors. The preservatives in the BD Urinalysis Tube and the C&S Tube allow for delayed testing and are in compliance with CLSI guidelines.
