A colleague has requested advice about collection of blood
cultures. They were using the 20 ml vacutainer but BD
stopped
making it so they have gone to collecting 2-10 ml samples in
separate tubes for injection into Septi-Chek bottles. Since
they are usually collecting other vacutainers, this is the
route that they take rather than a syringe and direct
inoculation into the Septi-Chek. What alternatives would you
suggest for them?
