ABSTRACT:
A blood collection set includes a needle having a puncture tip, a hub supporting the needle and including a release member, a safety shield, a drive member, and a packaging shield disposed on the hub. The safety shield is movable from a retracted position within the hub to an extended position shielding the puncture tip of the needle. The packaging shield encloses the puncture tip of the needle in the retracted position of the safety shield. The shielding feature of the blood collection set is activated by applying radial pressure to the release member, causing the release member to release the packaging shield from the hub, and maintain the safety shield in the retracted position. Upon sufficient or partial release of radial pressure, the drive member disengages the release member from the safety shield and moves the safety shield from the retracted position to the extended positions.
