Scope

This document specifies the general requirements for the design and risk control of safety-type blood collection needles, technical requirements, testing methods, inspection rules, marking and usage instructions, packaging, transportation and storage, etc. This document applies to the design and development, type evaluation, procurement acceptance, and quality control of needle-prick prevention blood collection needles products intended to reduce the risk of sharps injuries for medical staff and related operators during venous or peripheral blood collection (including with matching vacuum blood collection systems or other blood collection container systems). Blood collection operations are one of the most common and fundamental invasive procedures in medical institutions, spanning multiple scenarios such as outpatient clinics, hospitalization, physical examinations, sample collection for testing, and public health sampling. Traditional blood collection needles and associated devices are prone to needle-prick and cut injuries during needle removal, transfer, and disposal, increasing the risk of occupational exposure for medical staff and leading to increased comprehensive costs for employers in occupational health management, infection control, staff training, and emergency response. In recent years, various "safety-type blood collection needles" have significantly reduced the incidence of needle-prick injuries through mechanisms such as needle tip shielding, needle retraction, protective sleeve locking, and single-use prevention. However, due to the diversity of product types, significant differences in structural mechanisms, and varying usage habits and environments, the market lacks consistent understanding of "safety" and performance verification methods, resulting in unclear design objectives, inconsistent evaluation indicators, insufficient procurement criteria, and uneven clinical user experiences. This document addresses the needs of product development, regi
