BD 364981 - Urinalysis Cup Kit, Sterile Screw-Cap Collection Cup with Integrated Transfer Device and 10 mL UA Plus Plastic Round Bottom Tube (16 x 100 mm), 50/CS
The BD 364981 - BD Urinalysis Cup Kit is a sterile, self-contained urine collection and transfer system designed to ensure safe, accurate, and contamination-free specimen handling. This complete kit includes a sterile screw-cap collection cup with an integrated transfer device and a 10 mL BD UA Plus plastic round bottom tube (16 x 100 mm). Developed by Becton Dickinson (BD), the system is engineered to simplify urine collection and transfer while minimizing exposure to biohazards, ensuring reliable results for routine urinalysis, microbiological testing, and clinical chemistry procedures.
Each BD Urinalysis Cup Kit provides a closed, leak-resistant transfer process that eliminates the need for open specimen pouring, reducing the risk of spills and sample contamination. The kits user-friendly design ensures efficient workflow in hospitals, laboratories, and physician offices.
Key Benefits
The BD Urinalysis Cup Kit offers a comprehensive solution for safe and efficient urine collection and transfer. Its major advantages include:
- Closed, contamination-free system: Integrated transfer device eliminates direct contact with the specimen and minimizes spill risk.
- Sterile and ready to use: Individually packaged components ensure reliable results and patient safety.
- Leak-resistant screw cap: Provides secure sealing for hygienic sample transport and storage.
- Pre-labeled 10 mL UA Plus tube: Allows direct sampling and analysis in automated urinalysis systems.
- Efficient workflow integration: Reduces sample handling time, improves accuracy, and enhances laboratory safety.
Compatibility and Applications
The BD 364981 Urinalysis Cup Kit is compatible with BD UA Plus urinalysis tubes and most standard automated urinalysis analyzers and laboratory workflows. It is suitable for:
- Routine urinalysis and chemistry testing.
- Microbiological culture and sensitivity testing.
- Clinical diagnostic laboratories, hospitals, and physician offices.
- Collection and transportation of urine specimens for toxicology or drug screening.
The integrated design ensures compatibility with BDs Vacutainer urine transfer systems, providing a seamless, closed transfer process that maintains specimen integrity.
Usage Guidelines
To use, collect the urine sample directly into the sterile BD screw-cap collection cup. Secure the lid tightly after collection. Insert the integrated transfer straw into the pre-evacuated BD UA Plus 10 mL tube. The vacuum in the tube automatically draws the sample, ensuring accurate volume and minimal handling. After transfer, remove and dispose of the used cup following institutional biohazard protocols. Label the UA Plus tube appropriately and transport it to the laboratory for testing.
Always follow aseptic technique during collection and transfer to ensure sample integrity. Do not reuse or attempt to re-sterilize components.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The BD Urinalysis Cup Kit meets FDA, CE, and ISO 13485:2016 medical device standards for specimen collection systems. Each component is manufactured under GMP-compliant processes to ensure sterility, accuracy, and consistency. The BD UA Plus tube is made from high-quality, medical-grade plastic and conforms to CLSI GP16-A3 and GP39-A guidelines for specimen transport and handling. All materials are latex-free, DEHP-free, and non-pyrogenic.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Unlike conventional urine cups that require manual pouring, the BD 364981 Urinalysis Cup Kit provides a fully enclosed transfer process that minimizes contamination and exposure risks. Competing systems often lack an integrated transfer device or leak-resistant screw cap, increasing handling time and biohazard risk. BDs pre-engineered kit simplifies the workflow while ensuring specimen traceability and compatibility with automated analyzersmaking it a preferred choice in clinical laboratories and healthcare facilities focused on safety and efficiency.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is designed for healthcare professionals, nurses, and laboratory technicians handling biological specimens in clinical and diagnostic environments. Typical use scenarios include:
- Routine urinalysis testing in hospitals or clinics.
- Specimen collection in outpatient and physician office settings.
- Drug screening or toxicology testing in medical laboratories.
- Microbiology and clinical chemistry sample collection workflows.
The kits closed design and user-friendly operation make it ideal for both high-volume hospital labs and smaller diagnostic facilities.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the BD Urinalysis Cup Kit at room temperature (1530C) in a clean, dry environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or excessive humidity. Use only once and discard after sample transfer. Ensure all waste is disposed of in accordance with local biohazard regulations. Do not use if the sterile packaging is damaged or compromised. Always follow facility protocols for patient identification, labeling, and sample tracking to maintain accuracy and compliance.
