Global challenges in manual phlebotomy
Staffing constraints increase pressure on phlebotomy services
Hospitals and laboratories worldwide face ongoing staffing shortages that strain phlebotomy services. Heavy workloads and varying levels of experience can influence the consistency of manual blood collection*. This can impact patient experience and reduce reliability in the preanalytical process.
Preanalytical errors impact laboratory quality
The preanalytical phase introduces more variability into diagnostics than any other part of the testing process. Manual blood collection and handling create multiple points where inconsistencies can occur, affecting both workflow and sample quality. Skin preparation, vein selection, needle angle, tourniquet time, tube filling, mixing technique and labelling all depend on individual performance and surrounding conditions.
In busy departments, this variability becomes more pronounced. High patient volumes, fluctuating staffing levels and time pressure increase the likelihood of errors, leading to delayed results or the need for repeat draws. Reducing variation in this early stage is essential for maintaining stable sample integrity and ensuring a smooth diagnostic workflow*.
Vitestro's technology helps improve sample standardization and solve staffing shortages at our blood drawing department. Patients are also very positive.

Manual blood collection limits standardization
Despite advances in laboratory automation, blood collection remains one of the few fully manual steps in the diagnostic workflow. Manual phlebotomy depends on individual technique and environmental conditions, making it challenging to achieve uniformity at scale*. This variability affects workflow efficiency and sample integrity across high volume departments.
