System Components

VACUETTE Urine System®

Every urine sample is potentially infectious. By using the closed VACUETTE Urine System, hygienic sample collection
and laboratory processing can be ensured.
®

Improved hygiene

Highly efficient and cost saving

Improved safety for laboratory andhospital personnel through theuse of a closed system.

Collection, transportation, centrifugation,
analysis and storage can all be executedin a single sterile tube.

Safe and convenient transport

High quality

VACUETTE Urine Tubes are hermeticallysealed, sterile, virtually unbreakable andpacked in compact racks.

Sterile VACUETTE Urine Tubes have an exact
dosage vacuum and are guaranteed tomeet highest quality standards.

Contamination is virtually
impossible

Pre-analytical standardisation®

Contamination is virtually impossible whentransferring into a secondary vessel.

Recommendations to guarantee a stable sample quality:•In cases where the sample remains in the Urine Beaker for a longer period of time, it should be carefully
and thoroughly mixed, thus homogenizing the sample prior to transferring.

•Exclusive use of a sterile Urine Beaker for urine collection will contribute to less risk of contamination,
which in turn could improve sample quality.

•When using VACUETTE Urine Tubes with stabilizers, tubes should be inverted several times so as to mix
the urine and preservative homogeneously.

•Recommended centrifugal conditions for conical base tubes: 5 Min. / 400 g.

Overview of Tube Types and Areas of Application
VACUETTE Urine tube without additive, round base:

VACUETTE Urine tube – without additive, conical base:This tube can be used as a collection tube and/ortransport container in the following areas of application:

The tubes are used as collection tube and/or transport
container in the following area of application:®

•

Chemical urine tests*•Urine test strips*•It is recommended that the analysis is carried out as soon
as possible after the collection. During the preanalyticalphase, the stability of the sample is influenced by storage
temperature and time. The cooler the storage temperature,
the longer they can be stored. When cooled (to 4°C), a urine
sample is suitable for:•®

Urine microscopy*

The time between collection and analysis should not last
longer than 2 hours. The recommended examination material for microscopical evaluation of sediment is mid-streamurine.

Microbiological tests*

VACUETTE Urine System®

Application of Urine Beaker with Integrated Transfer Device*

VACUETTE Urine culture tubes – with preservative(Boric acid), round base:

VACUETTE Urine CCM tubes – with preservative(Count and Culture Mannitol):

1

Boric acid stabilizes the microbial count in urine for up to24 hours.

The VACUETTE Urine CCM tubes contain a stabilizer
in powder form, which keeps the bacterial count in thesample stable at room temperature (20-25°C) for up to48 hours. The good solubility of the additive stabilizes theurine sample quickly and is therefore especially suitable incases when the analysis takes place later.

®

Remove the protective sticker from the lid.

The tubes can be used as collection tube and/or transport
container in the following area of application:•2Insert the VACUETTE Urine Tube into the Integrated Urine
Transfer Device until the Safety Stopper is fully penetrated.
®

3The urine will then automatically flow into the VACUETTE Urine
Tube in accordance with the exact defined vacuum. Remove thefilled VACUETTE Urine Tube from the Integrated Urine Transfer
Device in the lid of the Urine Beaker.

Microbiological tests*

Urine tubes with boric acid are not suitable for the microscopic evaluation of sediment!*
