Blood Simpling II : Making blood sampling simple

Sammanfattning: When blood sampling is performed, problems and complications occasionally occur. Sometimes the blood sampling fails. Statistically, blood sampling fails at the first attempt in 28 percent of all cases for adults. For children, the corresponding rate is 44 percent. The project was based on the need for aids to perform blood sampling. The need was identified and recognised by the taskmasters Frida Svensson and Lisa Eliasson during their degree project in 2021. The project group’s aim was to continue the taskmasters work developing a medical technology product that facilitates blood sampling and to bring the product one step closer to the market. Text removed due to confidentiality. The text mentions the functionality of the product. The product's effect is to increase the chance of succeeding with the blood sampling at the first try. This not only increases the patient’s comfort, but also is timesaving and decreases the need of disposable materials. In the long run this contributes to large financial savings for the healthcare department. The result of the project was a prototype that embodies the product Blood Simpling II.  The product’s functions reduce the risk of complications when blood sampling is performed. At the same time, the product increases the chance of succeeding with the blood sampling at the first attempt. The project group’s successful result resulted in its purpose of bringing the product one step closer to the market. Text removed due to confidentiality.
