Descrição detalhada
Detailed Description:
PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
The installed pneumatic tube system is a Sumetzberger Power Control system (Sumetzberger, Austria). The transit line length between the Emergency Department phlebotomy station and the central clinical laboratory is approximately 120 meters. System operating speed is set at 4-5 m/s. Transport capsules are cushioned with internal foam padding to minimize mechanical impact forces. Average transit duration ranges between 50 and 90 seconds.
BLINDING AND OPERATIONAL STANDARDIZATION (CONSORT 2025 Item 12b):
Blood collection is performed by trained emergency department phlebotomists using standard venipuncture technique. Two yellow-cap serum separator tubes (SST) are drawn sequentially during the same venipuncture procedure. Tubes are labeled with standardized participant study identifiers and tube sequence numbers (Tube #1 and Tube #2) without indicating transport allocation. Laboratory technicians operating the automated analyzer and assessing the Hemolysis Index remain fully blinded to transport allocation.
PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT (PPI) STATEMENT (CONSORT 2025 Item 8):
Patients or members of the public were not involved in the design, conduct, reporting, or dissemination plans of this research. PPI was deemed non-applicable given the technical, pre-analytical nature of this laboratory quality evaluation study.
DATA SHARING STATEMENT (CONSORT 2025 Item 4):
De-identified individual participant data collected during the trial will be made available upon reasonable request to the corresponding investigator following publication.

Intervenção / Tratamento |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: PTS-First Sequence
Participants from whom two yellow-cap serum separator blood tubes are drawn simultaneously.
Tube #1 (first drawn) is transported via the pneumatic tube system (PTS), and Tube #2 (second drawn) is transported by manual personnel.
Both tubes are dispatched simultaneously.
|
Blood sample transport using the Sumetzberger Power Control pneumatic tube system (Sumetzberger, Austria).
The system operates at a speed of 4-5 m/s over a distance of approximately 120 meters using cushioned capsules.
Transport duration ranges between 50 and 90 seconds.
Blood sample transport performed manually by emergency department staff carrying the tube on foot from the phlebotomy area to the central clinical laboratory.
Transport is dispatched simultaneously with the paired pneumatic tube sample.
