Installations (stations) designed for blood drawing (i.e., phlebotomy) procedures. These stations typically consist of a combination of an easy-access rack or shelf for consumables (e.g., sample test tubes, gloves, strap tourniquets) and waste containers. The station also includes either a chair, typically with an adjustable arm board, or a standard chair and an adjustable height stand to accommodate the patient\'s arm. Blood drawing stations are intended for use in healthcare facilities to facilitate the procedure and improve safety for the phlebotomist. They are mainly used in facilities that perform a great volume of procedures, such as blood banks, hospitals, and clinical laboratories. Dedicated blood drawing stations intended for infants and/or disabled people are also available.
