Dear all I have recently been made aware of the above EU directive and been asked about the implications for blood gas analysis. Previously I have not been involved in the syringes/needles etc but suddenly it seems to be my issue to resolve! Could I ask what syringes other trusts use for blood gas analysis and are they EU compliant? Many thanks Helen Peat Point of Care Co-ordinator.
