The Sequestration Syringe Blood Culture Diversion Collection Device with proprietary initial specimen diversion technology is setting new standards in blood culture collection. Available at half the cost of competitive devices, the Sequestration Syringe is an easy-to-use way to achieve accurate blood culture results and reduce false positive rates.

The syringe features a unidirectional check valve to divert and sequester the initial 1.5mL of blood. The valve assures blood can only flow in one direction, preventing sequestered blood from contaminating the culture. The syringe also features a distinctive “T” valve that connects to a universal bottle holder for blood culture collection.

FDA clearance verifies the Sequestration Syringe provides safe and effective diversion in blood culture collection. But, unlike competitive diversion devices, the Sequestration Syringe is easy to use and requires little training. As a result, greater efficiency and cost savings are achieved, while promoting standardization for rapid, accurate blood culture collection procedures.
