Reported risk: A damaged reservoir may lead to a decreased fill volume causing samples to be insufficient for testing and improper blood-to-additive ratio, potentially producing erroneous results. Recollecting samples and retesting for the patient may be required if a Microtainer Tube with a damaged reservoir was used. This may lead to a delay in test results being reported and patients being treated. Additionally, a damaged tube reservoir may result in the potential for blood leakage and exposure to healthcare workers.
