• Vacuum Sample Tube with Anticoagulant (FDA Code: GIM / 862.1675) A blood specimen collection device is a device intended for medical purposes to collect and to handle blood specimens and to separate serum from nonserum (cellular) components prior to further testing. This generic type device may include blood collection tubes, vials, systems, serum separators, blood collection trays, or vacuum sample tubes. |
• Variable Speed Microplate Shaker |
• Varicella-Zoster CF Antigen (FDA Code: GQW / 866.3900) Varicella-zoster virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to varicella-zoster in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by varicella-zoster viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Varicella (chicken pox) is a mild, highly infectious disease, chiefly of children. Zoster (shingles) is the recurrent form of the disease, occurring in adults who were previously infected with varicella-zoster viruses. Zoster is the response (characterized by a rash) of the partially immune host to a reactivation of varicella viruses present in latent form in the patient's body. |
• Vascular Access Flush Heparin (FDA Code: NZW / 880.5200) An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials. |
• Venous Blood Collection Tubes |
• Vetautoread Hematology Analyzer |
• Vibrio Cholerae Antiserum (FDA Code: GSQ / 866.3930) |
• Vinyl Microscope Dust Covers |
• Vinyl Patient Examination Glove (FDA Code: LYZ / 880.6250) A patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. |
• Visual Field Analyzers, Kinetic Perimetery |
• Visual Field Analyzers, Standard Static Perimetry |
• Vitamin Assay Culture Media (FDA Code: JSB / 866.2350) A microbiological assay culture medium is a device that consists primarily of liquid or solid biological materials intended for medical purposes to cultivate selected test microorganisms in order to measure by microbiological procedures the concentration in a patient's serum of certain substances, such as amino acids, antimicrobial agents, and vitamins. The concentration of these substances is measured by their ability to promote or inhibit the growth of the test organism in the innoculated medium. Test results aid in the diagnosis of disease resulting from either deficient or excessive amounts of these substances in a patient's serum. Tests results may also be used to monitor the effects of the administration of certain antimicrobial drugs. |
• Waste Receptacles |
• Water-microbiology kit |
• Wire Petri Dish Holder |
• Yeast Dna Probe (FDA Code: MLA / 866.2660) A microorganism differentiation and identification device is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of one or more components, such as differential culture media, biochemical reagents, and paper discs or paper strips impregnated with test reagents, that are usually contained in individual compartments and used to differentiate and identify selected microorganisms. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease. |
