BD 366401 - Glass Blood Collection Tube Kit, 7.0 mL, Red and Lavender Stopper, Silicone Coated and K3EDTA Tubes, 25/PK, 4 PK/CS (Minimum Expiry Lead is 90 days) (Temp Sensitive; Non-Returnable) (Continental US On
The BD 366401 Glass Tube Kit is a venous blood collection product designed for professional clinical and laboratory use. This kit includes glass collection tubes with conventional stoppers in red and lavender configurations, supplied in a peel-apart pouch with paper labeling for clear specimen identification.
The kit includes two tube types for different specimen collection needs. Tube 1 is silicone coated and typically supports serum-based specimen workflows, while Tube 2 contains K3EDTA additive for anticoagulated whole blood or plasma specimen collection. The 7.0 mL draw volume provides a practical sample size for laboratory testing, research, and diagnostic processing where these tube types are required.
The BD 366401 is intended for use by trained healthcare and laboratory professionals in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, physician offices, outpatient facilities, and research environments.
Key Benefits
The BD 366401 provides two commonly used blood collection tube formats in one organized kit, helping support efficient specimen collection and laboratory workflow. The red and lavender stopper colors help users quickly identify tube type and intended specimen use.
The silicone-coated tube supports serum collection workflows by helping improve sample handling and clot-related processing. The K3EDTA tube helps preserve anticoagulated specimens by preventing clot formation, making it suitable for hematology and other testing requirements where EDTA-treated specimens are needed.
The peel-apart pouch helps keep the components organized and ready for use. Clear paper labeling supports specimen tracking, patient identification, and laboratory processing accuracy.
Compatibility and Applications
The BD 366401 Glass Tube Kit is compatible with standard venous blood collection workflows using appropriate BD-compatible blood collection devices, holders, and accessories. It should be used according to facility protocols and test-specific specimen requirements.
Common applications include serum specimen collection, EDTA anticoagulated blood collection, hematology testing support, clinical laboratory analysis, diagnostic specimen processing, and research sample collection.
This product is commonly used in hospitals, clinical laboratories, physician offices, outpatient clinics, diagnostic testing centers, and research facilities where red and lavender tube collection formats are required.
Usage Guidelines
Use the BD 366401 Glass Tube Kit only by trained healthcare or laboratory professionals. Before collection, verify the product code, tube type, stopper color, expiration date, packaging integrity, and required specimen type.
Follow standard venipuncture technique and facility order-of-draw procedures. After collection, handle each tube according to its intended use. The K3EDTA tube should be gently inverted according to laboratory protocol to ensure proper mixing of the additive with the specimen. Avoid vigorous shaking, as this may compromise sample quality.
Label each specimen accurately and transport it according to laboratory requirements. Do not use tubes if the packaging is damaged, expired, opened, or if any tube appears cracked, contaminated, or otherwise compromised.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The BD 366401 Glass Tube Kit is manufactured for professional healthcare and laboratory use. It should be used in accordance with applicable blood collection standards, infection prevention procedures, laboratory protocols, and manufacturer instructions.
Healthcare facilities should verify current product labeling, regulatory status, sterility information where applicable, and compliance documentation through BD, CIA Medical, or authorized product documentation before clinical use. Regulatory details may vary by market, product configuration, and distribution channel.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with purchasing red and lavender blood collection tubes separately, the BD 366401 kit provides an organized two-tube configuration that supports more efficient collection preparation and specimen handling.
Compared with plastic tube options, glass tubes may be preferred in certain validated laboratory workflows where glass construction is required or specified by protocol. Compared with generic blood collection tubes, BD products are widely recognized for consistent manufacturing quality, standardized tube identification, and dependable performance in clinical specimen collection.
The combination of a silicone-coated tube and a K3EDTA tube makes this kit useful for facilities that need both serum and anticoagulated specimen options within a single collection setup.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
The typical users of BD 366401 include phlebotomists, nurses, clinical laboratory scientists, medical laboratory technicians, physicians, research staff, and diagnostic specimen collection teams.
Typical scenarios include routine venous blood collection, diagnostic test preparation, hematology specimen collection, serum-based laboratory testing, outpatient lab draws, hospital specimen processing, and research sample collection requiring red and lavender tube formats.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the BD 366401 Glass Tube Kit in a clean, dry medical supply area according to manufacturer recommendations. Keep the peel-apart pouch intact until ready for use and rotate inventory by expiration date.
Inspect all tubes before use. Do not use cracked, chipped, expired, or compromised glass tubes. Follow facility procedures for safe glass handling and specimen collection.
Use proper tube inversion technique for the K3EDTA tube to ensure adequate additive mixing. Follow laboratory requirements for specimen timing, transport, centrifugation where applicable, storage, and rejection criteria.
Dispose of used tubes and blood-contaminated materials according to facility policy, OSHA bloodborne pathogen requirements, and applicable biomedical waste regulations.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The BD 366401 Glass Tube Kit is intended for professional healthcare and laboratory use only. Blood specimens should be treated as potentially infectious and handled using standard precautions.
Users should follow appropriate personal protective equipment requirements, safe venipuncture practices, specimen labeling protocols, glass tube handling precautions, and biomedical waste disposal procedures. Facilities should ensure staff are trained in blood collection, tube selection, additive handling, and specimen transport requirements.
