What might appear to be a simple plastic/glass tube, is an epitome of dedicated science, with years of expertise and experience packed into it. However, our work does not end there. Training of healthcare workers to manage sample collection optimally is invaluable for accurate diagnosis and treatment outcomes; hence, BD has been committed to capability building. Looking back at the 70 years of innovation and the road ahead excites me about the opportunity we have to shape the ever-evolving diagnostics industry in India.”
Seventy years ago, BD Vacutainer® products helped transform the collection process, making it safer and more comfortable for patients and clinicians.Today, every second, 82 patients1 have specimens collected with BD Vacutainer® products and continues to increase sample integrity and set a whole new standard in diagnostic accuracy.
Every day, people entrust their health to their doctors’ treatment decisions—decisions that are informed by a diagnostic result 70 percent of the time. But reliable results would not be possible without proper, safe specimen collection and management by healthcare professionals and the products they choose. The real challenge with specimen happens in the complex critical care settings (ICU & Emergency). BD continues to work with clinicians to increase reliability, accuracy, and integrity with their new specimen management solutions.
