Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a blood sample collection device with an integrated needle tube for hemodialysis. Background Technology
[0002] Hemodialysis is primarily used to treat patients with acute or chronic renal failure caused by related diseases. The process involves drawing blood from the patient's body and placing it into a dialyzer composed of numerous hollow fibers. Within this device, blood and dialysate exchange substances through diffusion, ultrafiltration, adsorption, and convection within the hollow fibers. This process effectively removes metabolic waste, maintains electrolyte and acid-base balance, and eliminates excess water. The purified blood is then returned to the patient. Regular hemodialysis treatment helps maintain stable vital signs, buying time for subsequent treatments. During hemodialysis treatment, monitoring the patient's vital signs and dialysis effectiveness allows for timely optimization. Treatment plans typically require collecting blood samples before and after dialysis for testing to ensure patients receive adequate and effective hemodialysis treatment. Currently, in clinical blood sample collection in hemodialysis units, a blood collection needle is usually connected to the blood collection port of the extracorporeal circulation tubing, and then a vacuum blood collection tube is used to draw the blood sample. Because the diameter of the extracorporeal circulation tubing and the size of the blood collection port are relatively small, medical staff need to be very careful during the operation to ensure that the insertion angle and depth of the blood collection needle are correct, avoiding damage to the extracorporeal circulation tubing due to deviation in the insertion angle or excessive insertion depth. In addition, the blood collection needles currently used in hemodialysis units are usually conventional blood collection needles with relatively long needle bodies, which increases the difficulty of inserting the needle into the blood collection port of the extracorporeal circulation tubing and also increases the risk of needle stick injuries to medical staff.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment is a blood sample collector with an integrated needle tube for hemodialysis, including a vacuum blood collection tube 1. The vacuum blood collection tube 1 is made of transparent PET plastic. An opening is provided at the tail of the vacuum blood collection tube 1, and a rubber plug 2 is provided at the opening for sealing the opening. A sleeve 3 is provided at the head of the vacuum blood collection tube 1. The sleeve 3 is used to connect to the blood collection port 4 of the extracorporeal circulation tubing, and the blood collection port 4 of the extracorporeal circulation tubing is inserted into the sleeve 3. A blood collection needle assembly is provided inside the sleeve 3. The blood collection needle assembly is used to pierce the blood collection port 4 of the extracorporeal circulation tubing. The blood collection needle assembly includes a needle body 11, a fixing seat 12, and a rubber sleeve 13. The needle body 11 passes through the fixing seat 12 and is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 12. The fixing seat 12 is fixedly connected to the head of the vacuum blood collection tube 1. The needle tip of the needle body 11 is located inside the cannula 3, and the needle tail of the needle body 11 passes through the head of the vacuum blood collection tube 1 and is located inside the vacuum blood collection tube 1. The rubber sleeve 13 is used to wrap the needle tip located inside the cannula 3 and keep the needle tip in a sealed state. The rubber sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 12 to reduce the risk of the rubber sleeve 13 falling off and to ensure the sealing performance of the rubber sleeve 13.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the length of the cannula 3 is greater than the length of the needle inside the cannula 3, to prevent the needle and rubber sleeve 13 from protruding from the cannula 3, so that the cannula 3 has a certain protective effect on the needle and rubber sleeve 13; in this embodiment, the cannula 3 is made of transparent plastic material, which can both observe the condition of the needle and rubber sleeve 13 inside the cannula 3 and ensure the stability of the cannula 3 and the blood collection port 4 of the extracorporeal circulation tubing; the transparent plastic material can be polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene (PE).
[0026] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, a tail cap 5 is provided at the tail of the vacuum blood collection tube 1 to protect the opening at the tail of the vacuum blood collection tube 1 and prevent the opening at the tail of the vacuum blood collection tube 1 from being contaminated during blood collection and transfer. The tail cap 5 is inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the rubber plug 2 at the tail opening of the vacuum blood collection tube 1, making it easy for laboratory personnel to remove the tail cap 5.
[0027] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a head cap 6 is inserted and connected to the sleeve 3, and the two have a tight fit to protect the sleeve 3 and the needle and rubber sleeve 13 inside the sleeve 3, and also to seal the sleeve 3; in practical applications, the head cap 6 and the sleeve 3 can also be connected by threads.
[0028] In use, unpack the package, take out the integrated blood sample collector for hemodialysis described in this embodiment, open the head cover 6, as shown in the example. Figure 3 As shown, the cannula 3 at the head of the vacuum blood collection tube 1 is connected to the blood collection port 4 of the extracorporeal circulation tubing, as follows. Figure 4 As shown, the retaining seat 12 located inside the cannula 3 serves as a limit to prevent the needle from being inserted too deeply. Simultaneously, with the cooperation of the cannula 3 and the extracorporeal circulation tubing blood collection port 4, the needle's insertion angle will not shift. During connection, the rubber sleeve 13 is deformed by the sealing element of the extracorporeal circulation tubing blood collection port 4, allowing the needle to penetrate the rubber sleeve 13 and enter the extracorporeal circulation tubing blood collection port 4 to form a passage. Figure 5As shown, blood flows into the vacuum blood collection tube 1 through the needle body 11 under the negative pressure of the vacuum blood collection tube 1. After the blood sample collection is completed, the cannula 3 at the head of the vacuum blood collection tube 1 is separated from the blood collection port 4 of the extracorporeal circulation tubing. The rubber sleeve 13 automatically rebounds and wraps around the needle to restore the needle to a sealed state, preventing blood from flowing out. Then, the head cap 6 is put back on the cannula 3, and the blood sample collection is completed. After the blood sample collection is completed, it is transferred to the laboratory. The laboratory personnel remove the tail cap 5 and use a syringe to insert into the vacuum blood collection tube 1 through the rubber stopper 2 at the tail opening of the vacuum blood collection tube 1. Then, the blood sample inside the vacuum blood collection tube 1 is extracted for testing. In this embodiment, the blood collection needle and the vacuum blood collection tube 1 are integrated into a single structure, which reduces medical waste, is simple and convenient to use, and is beneficial for hemodialysis medical staff to perform blood sample collection operations at the blood collection port 4 of the extracorporeal circulation tubing. Moreover, the blood collection needle is never exposed, which improves safety and avoids the safety hazards caused by the blood collection needle being inserted too deeply or improperly.
