Can this be used when they need to have blood drawn

Not sure, but doubt it, you could try the Buzzy - ads say it's vibrations work for all types of shots. Just ordered it so can't give actual usage info.

I would think the answer would be no. What they do is use the shot blocker to pinch some of the skin and then they administer the shot. You can kind if tell that from the picture on the box. When they do that, it's sensor overload on the skin, so kids can't pinpoint the time of injection. They can't pinch skin with the shot blocker to draw blood from what I understand, and without that the shot blocker would not be effective.

Bought for a relative so haven't used one myself. I think it would reduce the vascularity of the area making the vein "hide" but at the same time, I don't think it would hurt to try.

I would not think so. The person giving the shot grabs a good sized hunk of skin and pinches it in the shotblocker. I can't see any way they could do this and still allow good access to a vein.

yes, my father is and Emergency Room Paramedic and uses these all the time when he needs to draw blood on pediatric patients since he's also a phlebotomist. as a patient who has used the shot blocker is that they don't pinch the skin at all, it is firmly pressed to the skin

They are used to pierce through your skin for blood drop. It is relatively easy to use this Lancets

I used it on my mother, she was then taken to the hospital after finding her blood pressure high and was higher at the hospital. I guess the best way would be to bring it to a hospital and see if anyone would be willing to help you there as you cannot expect all machines to work exactly the same even if it is a built series I believe it is accurate but until you can have it verified with hospital grade instruments don't trust it completely mine came great doesn't mean I trust it blindly, anyway I do hope my rather vague answer was somewhat helpful

I don't think this can test your blood type. We use for test blood glucose.

Lancets are used to puncture the skin, so you will get a small amount of blood for the test strip

I use it to draw silvers out and if a cut is taking a long time to heal I use it like you would use neosporin.I think it works better for cuts and scraps than neosporin.It smells but the end result is great!

I had similar concerns. Organ makes needles as original equipment and replacements. They are OK to use. The larger consideration is to change needles as per factory recommendation. The tip gets rounded after hours of sewing.

Live blood analysis is usually done on a dark field. But you can certainly use this microscope to look at blood cells. It's a great scope for the price.

Meter gives a quick reading with a small blood sample. It is the lancet you use that causes pain.

Hello! Yes, you would need a lancet device, and lancets to jab your finger for the blood sample. Remember, always use the sides of your fingers, not the pads.

The whole point of this device is to insure that medications are available at regularly scheduled times and only at those regularly scheduled times. This reduces the likelihood of an overdose by a person whose faculties may be less than optimal. PRN implies that the person is capable of making a rational decision about need and acting appropriately. MedReady is probably not the best device for dispensing "as needed" medications.

Its quite easy to use. There are many devices available. Your doctor should advice.

Fake blood would help, but no. It does not look realistic enough, it's a gag prop.

No, I have seen it used on children, they say it burns a bit. My husband has used it once and he is not on blood thinners. He was out in the country, not near help, and had to use it on a bad cut. Hope this helps.

You can use the same lancet. The needles that go into the lancet are disposable. The lancet can be used for as long as it lasts (its spring loaded, so depending on how often you use it will depend on how long it lasts). Good Luck :)

I wouldn't think so. The needle on blood draws are much bigger and you're putting it into a vein. This works because the shot is very small and intramuscular, not intravenous.

Make sure you have a working battery and the correct strips. Sometimes a code will show which may indicate you don't have enough blood for the sample. These are just some suggestions.
