POC Collection Kit

The S-Monovette provides controlled venous sample collection from vascular access lines and easy dispensing for POC testing. The heparin-dosed tube connects to lines with a Luer-lock adapter and can be filled like a syringe. After collection, a dispensing tip adapter is attached for controlled dispensing into POC devices, helping to reduce filling errors that result in test rejection. The analyzer-ready tube can then be sent directly to the lab if confirmation testing is required.
