    Frequently Asked Questions

    The PIVO™ Needle-free Blood Collection Device and the ExT™ Stabilized Extension Set with NearPort™ IV Access provides high-quality blood samples with a flexible internal flow tube that advances through the PIVC, beyond the catheter tip for more favorable draw conditions.14

    The PIVO™ Blood Collection Device has been shown in clinical and healthy human studies to provide reliable, high-quality blood draws from peripheral IV catheter lines.7 In addition to  providing high-quality blood draws with low rates of hemolysis, the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device may have a positive impact on patient experience by reducing repetitive needlesticks.6

    The BD Peripheral Line Draw Solution is fully compatible with the BD portfolio of blood collection products, including BD Vacutainer® Luer-Lok™ Access Device and BD Vacutainer® Blood Collection Tubes, as well as the BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ Safety IV Catheter and BD Cathena™ Safety IV Catheter portfolio of products.

    Up to 90% of hospitalized patients will require IV therapy.9

    The PIVO™ Blood Collection Device can have a positive impact on the patient experience by reducing the pain and discomfort from multiple needlesticks, while saving clinician time by reducing the risk of preanalytical lab errors and sample re-collects which leads to improved economic outcomes.7

    The BD Peripheral Line Draw Solution helps alleviate pain associated with repetitive needlesticks encountered over a hospital stay by removing the needle from the blood draw procedure and by accessing optimal draw conditions through an existing PIVC while minimizing disruption to patient's sleep and healing process.6,21

    Compared with venipuncture, patients who received daily phlebotomy collections rated their overall experience a 9.1 out of 10 using the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device.1,15

    The BD Peripheral Line Draw solution includes the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device and the Ext™ Stabilized Extension Set. Together these products help to reduce the number of sticks associated with venipuncture and IV replacement7 helping to preserve vessel health for future access.5 Reliable peripheral line draws may also provide an alternative to the reliance and associated risks of central line draws.16

    The BD Peripheral Line Draw Solution enables a streamlined clinical efficiency with an innovative and easy to use PIVC line draw solution, helping clinicians access a high-quality and reliable venous blood draw.6,14

    Performing a needle-free blood draw reduces the risk of an accidental needlestick injury.

    Needle phobia terminology differs throughout literature and includes terms that are often used interchangeably: scared of needles, fear of needles, needle fear, Blood-Injection Injury (BII) phobia, fear of injections, and needle anxiety.

    If your patients have needle phobia, it could lead to avoidance behavior. This includes exacerbated avoidance of treatment, blood donations, and vaccinations -- all which can negatively impact patient care.22,23

    The most common device-related approach for addressing needle phobia is utilizing innovations that include smaller/thinner needles, followed by needle-free options.24,25

    Yes, the addition of Velano Vascular and its innovative PIVO™ Blood Collection Device allows BD to help health care providers move closer to the aspirational vision of the “One-Stick Hospital Stay,” by utilizing a PIVC that lasts the length of a patient's hospital stay.
