The BD Vacutainer™ PLUS PST II™ Tube is a lithium heparin coated plastic evacuated blood collection tube that provides a means of collecting, transporting and processing blood in a closed tube. Blood collected in a Vacutainer™ PLUS PST II™ Tube is used for clinical laboratory assays involving the use of patient plasma.
Device Story
Sterile, plastic, evacuated blood collection tube; contains closure assembly, inert acrylic gel mechanical barrier, and lithium heparin coating. Used in clinical laboratories for blood collection/processing. Centrifugation causes gel barrier to form at plasma interface, mechanically separating plasma from cells. Plastic construction reduces breakage risk and improves personnel safety. Provides improved plasma quality and analyte stability (up to 24 hours post-centrifugation; 2 hours for cardiac analytes: troponin I, CKMB, myoglobin) compared to previous generation tubes. Facilitates clinical decision-making by providing stable plasma samples for laboratory assays.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluations compared the subject device to the predicate BD Vacutainer™ Brand PLUS PST™ Plasma Separation Tube. Results demonstrated clinically equivalent chemistry analyte results between the two tubes.
Technological Characteristics
Sterile, plastic, evacuated blood collection tube. Components: closure assembly, inert acrylic gel mechanical barrier, lithium heparin coating. Mechanical separation principle via centrifugation. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in clinical laboratory settings for the collection, transport, and processing of blood samples to obtain patient plasma for diagnostic assays.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A blood specimen collection device is a device intended for medical purposes to collect and to handle blood specimens and to separate serum from nonserum (cellular) components prior to further testing. This generic type device may include blood collection tubes, vials, systems, serum separators, blood collection trays, or vacuum sample tubes.

#### > Device Description:
The Vacutainer™ PLUS PST II™ Tubes are sterile, plastic, evacuated blood collection tubes. The Vacutainer™ PLUS PST II™ Tube consists of: (1) a closure assembly. (2) an inert acrylic gel mechanical barrier, and (3) a lithium heparin coated plastic tube. The specimen is centrifuged and the barrier material forms at the plasma interface, mechanically separating the plasma from cells. The plasma portion is used for clinical laboratory assays involving the use of patient plasma. The benefits of a plastic tube decrease the occurrence of accidental breakage increases the safety of laboratory personnel and reduces the necessity of repeat specimens.
#### > Intended Use:
The BD Vacutainer™ PLUS PST II™ Tube is a lithium heparin coated plastic evacuated blood collection tube that provides a means of collecting, transporting and processing blood in a closed tube. Blood collected in a Vacutainer™ PLUS PST II™ Tube is used for clinical laboratory assays involving the use of patient plasma.
- > Claims:
The PLUS PST II™ Tube: (1) provides improved plasma quality vs. the BD Vacutainer™ Brand PLUS PST™ Plasma Separation Tube: (2) provides selected analyte stability up to twenty-four hours after centrifugation; and (3) provides stability for up to two hours after centrifugation for the following cardiac analytes: troponin I, creatine kinase MB fraction (CKMB), and myoglobin.
#### > Synopsis of Test Methods and Results
Clinical evaluations were performed to determine the safety and efficacy of the BD Vacutainer™ PLUS PST II™ Tube. The BD Vacutainer™ PLUS PST II™ Tube was compared to the currently marketed BD Vacutainer™ Brand PLUS PST™ Plasma Separation Tube. The results of the clinical evaluation demonstrated that the BD Vacutainer™ PLUS PST II™ Tube provides clinically equivalent chemistry analyte results when compared to the BD Vacutainer™ Brand PLUS PST™ Plasma Separation Tube.
