DIFF-SAFE
BLOOD DISPENSER
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
| Step
1. With tube
held upright, Insert the cannula through the rubber stopper
The
insertion can be done either prior to or after mixing.
Frequently labs insert when the tubes are still in the
rack. For protection, the end of the cannula is blunted,
but it passes easily through the stopper, particularly
so if the stopper had been pierced previously by an
automated cell counter.
|
 |
|
WARNING: WEAR
GLOVES. DO NOT INSERT WHEN TUBE IS UPSIDE DOWN.
FOR TUBES WHICH HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY OPENED AND
RE- CAPPED, MAKE SURE THAT THE STOPPERS HAVE BEEN
FULLY SEATED ON THE RIM OR EXCESS SPECIMEN MIGHT
BE EJECTED WHEN THE DEVICE IS PRESSED AGAINST
THE SLIDE.

| Step
2. Turn tube
upside down and press against slide. The
instant the blood is deposited on the slide, first RELAX
PRESSURE FOR AN INSTANT, then lift off the slide. |
The
DIFF-SAFE® dispenser is designed to release a drop
whose size is ideal for making smears.
TO ENSURE A UNIFORM DROP
SIZE, BE SURE TO RELAX PRESSURE FOR AN INSTANT BEFORE
LIFTING OFF THE SLIDE.
|
By
relaxing pressure DIFF-SAFE®
sucks back any excess blood from the slide leaving an
ideal drop for making smears. |
The
DIFF-SAFE® dispenser may be removed immediately
after use and discarded. However, in most labs the practice
is to leave the device in the stopper and later discard
together with the tube. |

Cuts
the time of smear making In half, reduces fatigue
Compared to the typical procedure involving fifteen
or more steps when sticks or capillaries are used,
the procedure using the DIFF-SAFE® dispenser
cuts the number of steps by two thirds. You gain
back valuable technician time, while at the same
time avoiding unnecessary hazards.
