Streamline urine collection to improve diagnostic accuracy

From collection to analysis, BD Vacutainer^® Urine Products help you maximize the utility of one of the most collected and analyzed body fluids.¹

BD Vacutainer^® Urine Collection devices and evacuated tubes maintain a closed system designed to facilitate a simple and consistent, high-quality collection.^2,3

The risks of sample contamination

E. coli bacteria typically double every 20 minutes in unpreserved urine,⁴ highlighting an urgency to preserve urine for accurate diagnostic results
In one study, contaminated urine cultures led to 44.3% of patients being prescribed the wrong antibiotic⁵
Unpreserved and improperly stored urine samples risk contamination and/or overgrowth, which can lead to false positives and unnecessary treatment^1,5

Why BD Vacutainer^® Urine Collection System

The BD Vacutainer^® Urine Collection System can help reduce contamination, improve diagnostic accuracy, improve treatment decisions and outcomes, and reduce the risk of leaks and exposure, compared to open collection methods.

Reduced contamination

Closed collection helps reduce contamination and pre-analytical errors, false reporting of UTI/CAUTI events, sample rejections and the need for recollection.^3,6-7

Improved diagnostic accuracy

The BD Vacutainer^® Urine Collection System yields higher rates of conclusive tests compared to open collection.³

Improved treatment decision and outcomes

By implementing the BD Vacutainer^® Urine Collection System and changing the urine culture ordering process, antimicrobial prescriptions for urinary indications among admitted patients were decreased by almost 50% without any cases of untreated UTIs identified.⁶

In addition, less contamination and fewer pre-analytical errors reduce delays and allow for timely patient treatment decisions.^3,6

Reduced risk of leaks and exposure

Closed urine tubes keep healthcare workers safer on the job because of the reduced exposure to potentially leaking cups.
