No-Needle blood draw device tested in ER to cut contamination
NCT ID NCT07348289
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a needle-free device called PIVO that draws blood through an existing IV line in the emergency department. Researchers want to see if using this device reduces contamination of blood cultures and lowers the number of needle sticks for patients. Up to 10,000 patients will be included, and staff will be trained on how to use the device. The main goals are to measure how often the device is used and whether it leads to cleaner blood samples.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PIVO device (needle-free blood draw device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make blood culture collection safer and more comfortable for patients by reducing needle sticks and contamination.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational implementation study, not a randomized trial, so results may be influenced by staff training and patient selection. The device may not reduce contamination as hoped.
