Tongji University researchers invent automatic sampler for blood
Researchers from Tongji University in Shanghai announced they had invented an automatic blood sampler that can match or outperform health-care professionals.
The desktop machine, which includes near-infrared and ultrasound image-guided devices, can locate veins in patients quickly and safely, avoiding repeated needle insertion attempts on patients.
Venipuncture, involving inserting a needle into a vein to extract a blood sample or inject medication, is the world’s most common clinical procedure. But even medical experts may fail on patients without visible veins.
