A1-5 Analysis of Venous Blood Collection Model Using Puncture Force Measurement System

Abstract

Methods to evaluate venous blood collection models quantitatively have been investigated. The conventional puncture force method has been evaluated and the problems associated with the reproducibility of torque and puncture strength have been identified. Using a motorized test stand, quantitative evaluation has been applied to a puncture force measurement system that enables a constant speed at a predetermined angle. Compared with the conventional method, the assessed model has demonstrated detectable and advantageous characteristics.
