New Needle-Free blood draw device could slash contamination and pain in ERs
NCT ID NCT06806709
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a special device called PIVO Pro that lets doctors draw blood for infection tests through an IV line already in the arm, avoiding extra needle sticks. The goal is to see if this method reduces contamination of the blood sample compared to the usual way. About 1,148 adults in three emergency departments will take part, and researchers will track how often samples are contaminated or not filled enough.
