A.N.D. Cost Savings

Post Medical's A.N.D. (Automatic Needle Disconnect) system allows personnel to safely, quickly and automatically remove used blood collection needles USING ONLY ONE HAND with no change in technique. There are no extra parts to purchase or inventory - the A.N.D. is a self contained system.

The A.N.D. provides a major step forward in safety, yet on average, the cost per procedure is less expensive and more economical than "open top" style phlebotomy containers:

  • Fewer A.N.D. units are needed - the A.N.D. will not accept bulk waste like cap covers, cotton balls, gauze, paper packaging, etc that fill up "open top" containers unnecessarily. The A.N.D. only accepts blood collection needles, lancets and butterflies.
  • Reduced disposal costs - on average, one A.N.D. unit will outlast 3 to 5 "open top" style phlebotomy containers. Fewer containers used result in decreased disposal costs!
  • The A.N.D. unit automatically eliminates overfilling - THE major cause of accidental needle sticks - The A.N.D. will not allow personnel to place fingers into the container - it is a closed system.
  • Important Safety Features -
    • The three click "ratchet" gearing will not allow the mechanism to retract until the full downstroke has been completed.
    • The A.N.D. unit locks in the down position when safely filled and will no longer automatically accept additional needles.
  • Prove the economy of the A.N.D. - Date the bottom of the A.N.D. unit and your existing container. This side by side comparison will allow you to see, firsthand, the fewer number of A.N.D.'s necessary to dispose of infectious waste versus your current system....
