      #248412 - 11/14/09 03:43 PM

My anxiety its Killing Me.
When i went to take my test for my past interocuorse the nurse use a vacutainer System.
As you know The Vacutainer System consists of a doubleDouble-tussin dm-pointed needle, a plastic holder or adapter and a series of vacuum tubes with rubber stoppers of various colorsColor blindness
Color blindness tests
Color vision test.
The Vacutainer needle has a sharp point at both ends, and usually is covered by a rubber sheath, with one end being shorter than the other. The Vacutainer holder is a plastic sleeve into which the phlebotomist screws the doubleDouble-tussin dm pointed Vacutainer needle.Vacutainer tubes are glass tubes sealed with a partialPartial (focal) seizure
Partial thromboplastin time (ptt)
Thyroid gland removal vacuum inside by rubber stoppers. The air pressurePressure ulcer inside the tube is negative, less than the normalNormal saline flush environmen.
Ok this is the situation, the needle of course was NEW, the tube of course was New but the HOLDER was resuable.
I saw a very small dried blood exactly on the the part that you screw the the double pointed Vacutainer needle.
in theory there vas no risk because the needle is new but y need to hear your advice.
