Precautions and handling requirements
Warnings and precautions
- For in vitro diagnostic use only.
- Do not use products after their expiration date.
- Avoid contact of reagents with skin, eyes or mucus membranes. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. In case of skin contact, wash off with soap and plenty of water.
- Treat all biological specimens and materials coming in contact with them as biohazards. Handle with proper caution and dispose of following the policies and procedures of your facility.
- Practice universal precautions. Use protective personal equipment and other engineering controls to protect from blood splatter, blood leakage and potential exposure to blood-borne pathogens.
- Handle all biological samples and blood collection “sharps” (lancets, needles, luer adapters and blood collection sets) according to the policies and procedures of your facility.
- Use caution when handling to avoid dropping or breakage of the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube. If the chaotropic reagent is spilled, FIRST clean with a suitable laboratory detergent and water, and then with 0.5% sodium hypochlorite.
- Do not use the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube for the collection of materials intended for injection.
- Do not use the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube if the contents are cloudy or if foreign matter is present.
- Do not transfer a collection specimen into the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube using a needle and syringe. Additional manipulation of sharps increases the risk of injury.
- Check the venipuncture collection system before use.
- Blood should be aspirated fully to avoid an incorrect reagent-to-blood ratio that could affect results.
- The quantity of blood drawn varies with altitude, ambient temperature, barometric pressure, tube age, venous pressure and filling technique.
- Ensure that collected specimens are packaged and labeled following all of the requirements for transportation of biohazardous materials.
- Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available upon request from your local Roche office.
- Inform your local competent authority and manufacturer about any serious incidents that may occur when using this assay.
Good laboratory practice
- Always follow Good Laboratory Practices/Good Clinical Practices (GLP/GCP).
- Wear protective disposable gloves, coats, and eye protection when collecting and handling specimens. Wash hands thoroughly after handling specimens.
Specimen collection, transport and storage
Note: Handle all samples and controls as if they are capable of
transmitting infectious agents.
- Store all donor samples at specified temperatures.
- Sample stability is affected by elevated temperatures.
- Centrifuge samples at 1000 RCF (relative centrifugal force) for 2 minutes.
Prior to blood collection, the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube is stable when stored between 2°C and 25°C. Whole blood collected in the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube may be stored for up to 60 days with the following conditions:
- For storage above 8°C, samples may be stored for 72 hours at up to 25°C, and up to 30°C for 24 hours during the 72 hours.
Other than noted above, samples are stored at 2-8°C. In addition, the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube may be stored within the first 12 days after collection for up to 12 months at -20°C (± 5°C) with three freeze/thaw cycles. Refer to Figure 1.
Instructions for use
Procedural notes
- Do not use Roche Whole Blood Collection Tubes after their expiry dates.
- Roche Whole Blood Collection Tubes are for one-time use only.
Procedure
- General guidelines for specimen collection can be found in Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) H3-A6, Procedures for the Collection of Diagnostic Blood Specimens by Venipuncture.2
- Whole blood can be collected either directly from the vein using a winged blood collection set only or from a diversion collection bag using a collection line that prevents any backflow into the diversion collection bag.
- Allow the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube to come to room temperature before use.
- Attach the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube to the needle/tube holder and needle (not supplied with the product) and perform phlebotomy. Blood will be aspirated up to the correct total volume and no further. Blood should be aspirated fully to avoid an incorrect additive-to-blood ratio that could affect results.
- Because the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube contains a chemical additive, it is important to avoid possible backflow. To prevent backflow during blood collection:
- Place the patient’s arm in a downward position.
- Hold the tube in a vertical orientation below the donor’s arm.
- Release the tourniquet as soon as blood begins to collect in the tube.
- Ensure that the tube additive does not touch the stopper or end of a needle.
- If the Roche Whole Blood Collection Tube is the first tube drawn, it is recommended that a discarded tube be used to fill the blood collection tubing’s “dead space” with blood. This step will ensure the correct blood-additive ratio of the specimen.
- Additional tubes should not be drawn with the same butterfly or winged blood collection set to ensure there is no cross-contamination from the needle and the chaotropic reagent to the additional tubes.
- Remove the tube from the needle holder and immediately mix the whole blood and collection additive by gently inverting the tube 5 to 10 times (Figure 2). Do not shake or vortex. Vigorous mixing can cause foaming.
