BD 367342 - Vacutainer Blood Collection Set 23 Gauge x 3/4 Inch Push Button, 50/BX

The BD 367342 Vacutainer Push Button Blood Collection Set is a sterile, single-use 23-gauge winged (butterfly) needle system designed for safe and efficient venipuncture. Featuring BDs innovative push-button safety mechanism, this device retracts the needle instantly after use, reducing needlestick injuries and enhancing clinician safety. The 3/4-inch needle, flexible 12-inch tubing, and ergonomic light-blue wings allow precise control, making it ideal for difficult or delicate venous access.

Key Benefits

This blood collection set ensures improved patient comfort with its ultra-sharp 23G needle and flexible tubing that allows smooth, controlled insertion. The push-button retraction mechanism provides immediate needle shielding, significantly reducing sharps injury risk. Its light-blue color coding clearly identifies the 23G size, while BDs precision engineering guarantees reliable vacuum tube draws, stable connection to collection systems, and consistent performance in high-volume phlebotomy environments.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 367342 set is compatible with:

• BD Vacutainer tubes and holders
• Standard Luer adapters
• IV access in challenging veins (pediatric, geriatric, oncology)

Typical use scenarios include:

• Routine venipuncture for laboratory testing
• Blood draws from fragile or rolling veins
• Pediatric and geriatric phlebotomy
• Outpatient clinics, hospitals, and mobile phlebotomy services

Usage Guidelines

Prepare the venipuncture site using aseptic technique. Insert the winged needle into the vein while stabilizing using the butterfly wings. Attach the set to a Vacutainer holder and begin blood collection. After completion, press the push button to activate the instant needle retraction mechanism. Dispose of the device immediately in an approved sharps container. Do not attempt to recap or reuse.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

Manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified quality systems, the BD Vacutainer safety sets meet FDA and CE regulatory requirements for sterile, single-use blood collection devices. The safety features comply with OSHA Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act expectations and CDC recommended sharps protocols.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with traditional butterfly needles or lower-grade safety sets, BD Push Button systems offer faster and more reliable retraction, minimizing clinician exposure. Competitor devices may rely on manual shielding or sliding guards that can fail under stress. BDs one-touch activation ensures consistent performance and reduces the risk of accidental needlestick injuries in busy clinical settings.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This device is commonly used by:

• Phlebotomists in hospital labs and outpatient clinics
• Nurses performing routine blood collection
• Emergency and critical care teams
• Mobile blood draw and home healthcare services

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Ensure the tubing is free of kinks before use. Stabilize using the wings to prevent needle movement during draws. Always activate the push-button safety immediately after withdrawal. Store unused sets in a clean, dry location away from extreme temperatures. Never reuse or attempt to re-sterilize the device.

Regulatory and Safety Information

For single-use only. Sterile unless damaged or opened. Designed for venous blood collection. Follow OSHA and institutional policies on sharps handling and bloodborne pathogen precautions. Dispose of used sets in a certified sharps container.
