BD 364980 - Vacutainer Urine Collection Tube, 16 x 100mm, 8mL, Sterile Plastic Tube, 100/BOX

The BD 364980 - BD Vacutainer Urine Collection Tube is a sterile, evacuated plastic tube designed for safe, hygienic, and reliable urine specimen collection, transport, and analysis. Measuring 16 x 100mm with an 8mL draw capacity, this tube ensures consistent specimen volume for clinical chemistry, urinalysis, and toxicology testing. Manufactured by Becton Dickinson (BD), the tube features a secure leak-resistant closure system and is compatible with standard urine transfer devices, helping healthcare professionals collect samples efficiently while maintaining patient safety and specimen integrity.

Engineered for convenience and contamination control, the BD Vacutainer urine tube supports direct sampling from urine transfer devices without the need to open the specimen container, reducing exposure to biohazards and improving workflow efficiency in clinical laboratories.

Key Benefits

The BD Vacutainer Urine Collection Tube provides a closed, sterile system for safe specimen handling and transport. Its vacuum technology ensures accurate sample volume collection, minimizing handling errors. The durable plastic construction prevents breakage, while the leak-proof cap maintains specimen stability during storage and transport. The 8mL capacity accommodates most laboratory urine testing protocols, and the standardized 16 x 100mm size ensures compatibility with automated analyzers. The tubes design also supports proper sample preservation, reducing the risk of contamination or evaporation.

Compatibility and Applications

This BD Vacutainer urine tube is compatible with BD Urine Collection Kits, BD transfer devices, and most automated laboratory instruments. It is ideal for use in:

• Clinical laboratories conducting routine urinalysis and chemistry testing.
• Hospitals and diagnostic centers performing drug screening and toxicology analysis.
• Outpatient clinics and health screening facilities.
• Occupational health programs and research institutions requiring sterile urine collection.

The tubes universal design ensures compatibility with standard centrifugation and analyzer racks used in clinical testing environments.

Usage Guidelines

Collect the urine specimen in a clean container following standard patient collection protocols. Using a BD urine transfer straw or device, pierce the collection tube stopper and allow the vacuum to draw urine into the tube until the fill line is reached (8mL). Do not remove the stopper manually or attempt to pour urine directly into the tube. Invert the tube gently several times to mix any additives (if present) and ensure sample homogeneity. Label the tube clearly and transport it to the laboratory for analysis according to facility policy. Always follow universal precautions when handling biological specimens.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

The BD Vacutainer Urine Collection Tube is FDA-cleared and CE-marked for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use. It is produced under ISO 13485:2016-certified quality management systems to ensure consistent performance, sterility, and safety. Each tube undergoes strict testing for vacuum accuracy, integrity, and additive performance. BDs tubes comply with CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) guidelines for urine specimen collection and handling, providing laboratories with reliable and standardized performance for diagnostic applications.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared to conventional urine collection containers or generic transfer tubes, the BD 364980 offers superior safety and convenience through its closed system design. This minimizes contamination risks and exposure to infectious materials. Competitor tubes may lack precise vacuum calibration or durability under centrifugation. The BD Vacutainer system ensures consistent volume, reduced leakage, and enhanced compatibility with automated analyzers. Its quality construction and validated sterility make it a preferred choice for healthcare professionals and laboratory technicians worldwide.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This product is primarily used by clinical laboratory technicians, phlebotomists, and healthcare professionals responsible for specimen collection and processing. Common application scenarios include:

• Routine urinalysis for kidney function and metabolic health assessment.
• Drug and toxicology testing in clinical or occupational settings.
• Pre-admission screening and diagnostic evaluations.
• Research studies requiring accurate and uncontaminated urine samples.

The BD 364980 urine collection tube provides standardized sample management, ensuring traceable and reproducible results.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store tubes at controlled room temperature (425C) and protect them from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Always check the expiration date and vacuum integrity before use. Do not use tubes that appear cracked, discolored, or have compromised caps. After collection, handle tubes gently to avoid leakage and transport them upright to prevent cross-contamination. Dispose of used tubes and accessories according to local biohazard waste disposal protocols. Regular staff training in closed urine collection procedures enhances safety and specimen quality.

Regulatory and Safety Information
