Kurin® Blood Culture Collection Sets

Building on the success of Kurin Lock® technology, 
Kurin Jet is the culmination of years of market-leading innovation, reducing preventable blood culture contamination (BCC) faster and easier than ever before.* Passive technology complements clinician workflow, ensuring high levels of compliance and sustained outcomes.

Kurin Jet sidelines the initial 0.15 mL of blood, which may contain contaminants from the patient’s own skin, ensuring that the best possible blood specimen reaches the culture bottle. Clinical studies show that best practice compliance combined with Kurin collection can reduce BCC by more than 80% and drive hospital rates below the recommended 1% target.

The fastest path
to less than 1%

Efficient by design

No wait.
No extra steps.
No change to practice.

The passive technology incorporated into the Kurin Jet instantly sidelines skin contaminants with no change in collection technique. Flexible configurations support collections from venipuncture, fresh peripheral IV starts, and syringe draws for hard-to-stick patients. Engineered with clinician-driven innovation, Jet’s superior design complements workflow, ensuring high levels of compliance and sustained outcomes.

Proven effective with less blood waste

Kurin helps hospitals reduce BCC below 1% while conserving blood and avoiding unnecessary costs.

Automatic diversion technology, validated in clinical studies, sidelines initial 0.15 mL of blood which may contain contaminants from the patient's skin.

Low waste supports vulnerable patients by helping clinicians preserve blood volume and fill accuracy without slowing workflow.

Clinically proven and

FDA-indicated to reduce BCC*

Facilitates accurate CLABSI and HOB reporting

Reportable false positive CLABSIs and hospital onset bacteremia and fungemia (HOB) events significantly impact clinical outcomes and cost of care.

Supports antimicrobial stewardship efforts

Improving diagnostic accuracy supports appropriate antibiotic therapy, combating the impact of virulent 
multidrug-resistant super bugs.

Designed
for clinicians

Simple and easy to use, Kurin requires no change in blood culture collection technique, enabling caregivers to use familiar techniques that best serve their patient population.

Improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes

Studies have shown that BCC can add days to length of stay, putting patients at higher risk of healthcare acquired conditions and mortality.7,14

Return on
investment

Studies show annual cost savings range from ~$185k for a single facility to $5M for a health system after accounting for the Kurin device cost.

Lifetime partnership and clinical support

Kurin clinicians review clinical practice to customize an implementation plan and ongoing support to ensure long term success.

Venipuncture Collections
Freshly Placed Peripheral Catheter Collections

Kurin Jet venipuncture collection sets are sterile, single-use devices that sideline the initial flash of blood and skin contaminants therein.

The collection set includes a winged Kurin Advance Safety Needle to aid in the prevention of needlestick injury, flexible tubing, the Jet device, and a blood culture bottle holder for connection to vacuum-based collection vials. 

  • This device is to be used for blood collection ONLY. 

Kurin Jet PIV (12” or 18”) is sterile, single-use blood culture collection set that sidelines the initial flash of blood and skin contaminants therein upon first access to the peripheral catheter. The collection set includes a 6-inch flexible tubing extension set, the Jet device, a blood culture bottle holder, and a male luer intended for direct connection to a freshly placed peripheral IV catheter.

  • This device is to be used for blood collection ONLY.
  • It should be used for ONLY freshly placed peripheral IVs, prior to any infusion.
  • It is not to be used for infusion, IV administration, or transfusion except when supplied with a pressure-rated extension set, which can be detached and used separately.
1

Inspect and open the packaging.

Visually inspect the device and packaging to confirm there is no damage (device is not cracked, broken). If the packaging appears to be damaged (punctured, torn) do not use the device. Peel label to remove the device.

2

Secure connections.

Ensure that the blood culture bottle holder is secure before use. If it is necessary to collect the blood specimen with a syringe, the blood culture bottle holder may be removed.

3

Perform skin antisepsis and venipuncture.

Prep the site per hospital protocol.
Observe the flash of blood into the needle casing to ensure that you are correctly in the vein.

4

Collect specimen(s).

Attach blood collection vials to blood culture bottle holder to collect blood samples and fill according to policy. If collecting additional labs, ensure blood cultures are collected first and then collect additional specimens ordered.

5

Dispose of the set.

When complete, activate the needle safety mechanism and dispose of the set in accordance with hospital protocol.

6

Provide tracking information.

Per hospital protocol, use the provided package lid form to track collections.

Visually inspect the device and packaging to confirm there is no damage (device is not cracked, broken). If the packaging appears to be damaged (punctured, torn) do not use the device. Peel label to remove the device.

2

Perform skin antisepsis.

Prep the site per hospital protocol for IV insertion.

3

Ensure that the blood culture bottle holder is secure before use.

A blood culture bottle holder comes pre-attached to the Kurin PIV set to aid in maintaining a closed system for collection. If it is necessary to collect the blood specimen with a syringe, the blood culture bottle holder may be removed.

4

Insert peripheral IV catheter and connect the Kurin extension set.

Place the peripheral IV in accordance with hospital protocol and connect the luer lock of the Kurin set to the PIV catheter.

5

Collect the ordered specimens.

Attach blood culture bottle to blood culture bottle holder to collect blood samples or draw blood using a syringe and fill each bottle according to policy.
If collecting additional labs, ensure blood cultures are collected first and then collect additional specimens ordered.
If the device includes an extension set:
- Complete the collection, engage the clamp and disconnect the Kurin device.
- Attach needleless connector to extension set and flush according to hospital policy.

6

Dispose of the set.

Dispose of the set in accordance with hospital protocol.

The Kurin Blood Collection System is for use as a blood collection system and its Kurin Lock allows the specimen of blood from the patient to be sidelined prior to the collection of the test sample to reduce the frequency of blood culture contamination when contaminates are present in the initial blood sample compared to blood cultures drawn using standard practice without the Kurin Lock.
