BD 368659 - Blood Collection Set, Safety Push Button, Pre-Attached Holder, 25G x 0.75" Needle, 12" Tubing, 5BX/CS

The BD 368659 Blood Collection Set is a sterile, single-use phlebotomy device featuring a 25G x 0.75" needle, 12" tubing, and an integrated pre-attached holder for streamlined blood collection. This set includes BDs Safety Push Button technology, which instantly retracts the needle with a single press to reduce needlestick injury risk. Designed for comfort, control, and enhanced safety, the set provides smooth venous access for draws in both adult and pediatric patients, while the butterfly-style needle supports precise positioning and reduced insertion discomfort.

Key Benefits

This safety-engineered blood collection set combines ease of use with superior clinician and patient protection. The push-button retraction mechanism secures the needle immediately after venipuncture, significantly reducing exposure to sharps injuries. The 25G needle provides gentle access for fragile veins, making it ideal for pediatric, geriatric, and low-tolerance patients. Pre-attached tube holder eliminates assembly steps, improving workflow efficiency and reducing contamination risk. The flexible 12" tubing allows controlled blood flow and maneuverability during collection.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 368659 set is compatible with standard BD Vacutainer blood collection tubes. It is widely used in hospitals, clinics, laboratory draw stations, emergency departments, mobile phlebotomy, and outpatient care. Its small-gauge needle and ergonomic design make it particularly well suited for patients with delicate or difficult veins, such as pediatrics, geriatrics, oncology patients, or those with chronic illness.

Usage Guidelines

Prepare the venipuncture site using aseptic technique. Insert the butterfly needle into the vein and observe flashback to confirm placement. Attach the Vacutainer tube to initiate blood flow. After completing the draw, press the Safety Push Button to retract the needle into its protective housing. Dispose of the retracted device immediately in an approved sharps container. Follow facility-specific venipuncture and safety protocols at all times.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

This blood collection set complies with regulatory requirements for sterile, single-use phlebotomy devices and supports OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standards for sharps safety. BDs automated needle retraction mechanism is tested to ensure reliable activation and injury prevention. Manufactured under strict BD quality systems, the product meets recognized industry standards for performance, sterility, and user protection.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared to generic butterfly needles or sets requiring separate holders, the BD 368659 offers significant workflow and safety advantages. Many competitor products do not include integrated push-button retraction and require additional assembly steps that increase contamination risk. BDs pre-attached holder reduces handling errors, while the precision-engineered needle and smooth tubing enhance patient comfort and clinician control. The reliable safety mechanism makes this one of the most trusted blood collection sets in clinical practice.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This set is used by phlebotomists, nurses, medical laboratory technicians, and mobile collection specialists. It is ideal for routine venipuncture, pediatric draws, outpatient lab work, and bedside collections. Its small-gauge needle supports gentle access for patients with sensitive or difficult veins, making it a preferred choice in oncology centers, geriatrics, and chronic care environments.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Ensure the Safety Push Button is accessible before venipuncture. Always confirm needle placement through flashback before attaching the collection tube. Maintain control of the needle via the butterfly wings to prevent movement. Activate the safety mechanism as soon as the draw is complete. Never attempt to recap the needle. Dispose of the device immediately after use. Store in a clean, dry area and inspect packaging before opening.

Regulatory and Safety Information

The BD 368659 blood collection set meets OSHA, CDC, and facility-level safety requirements for sharps handling and venipuncture. The integrated safety feature helps prevent clinician exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Users must follow all institutional venipuncture guidelines, sharps disposal policies, and sterile handling procedures.
