  • Safety device for use in collecting fluid samples
    Patent number: 5330439
    Abstract: A safety device for collecting fluids for laboratory testing is disclosed. More particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus for collecting multiple undiluted blood samples for subsequent laboratory testing wherein the apparatus is provided with a safety overshield which precludes the individual taking the blood sample from sustaining a needle stick injury. The apparatus includes a vacutainer tube retainer to which a safety overshield is attached. The safety overshield has an upwardly projecting peripheral rim which prevents the depositing needle from sliding off the face of the overshield and contacting the hand of the individual holding the vacutainer tube retainer.
