This study introduces an autonomous robotic system for blood draws. Preliminary results show it can locate veins and prevent needle overshoot, demonstrating feasibility for automated phlebotomy.

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Medical Devices
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Automated blood sampling can improve efficiency and reduce human error in clinical settings.
  • Accurate vein localization and controlled needle insertion are critical challenges in phlebotomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel robotic system for autonomous blood sample collection from the forearm.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of using force/position sensing for vein detection and needle control.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a robotic system equipped with a probe for skin interaction and a needle insertion mechanism.
  • Utilizing force/position profiles during probe contact to determine vein location on a phantom model.
  • Analyzing force/position data during needle insertion to detect vein puncture and trigger automatic withdrawal.

Main Results:

  • The robotic system successfully located veins within 1 mm accuracy on a phantom using force/position sensing.
  • Distinctive force/position profiles upon vein puncture allowed for automatic needle withdrawal, preventing overshoot.
  • Preliminary results indicate the feasibility of autonomous blood sampling via robotic manipulation.

Conclusions:

  • The developed robotic system shows promise for autonomous blood collection, enhancing safety and precision.
  • Force/position feedback is a viable method for vein identification and controlling needle depth in robotic phlebotomy.
  • Future work includes developing a fully autonomous blood sampling robot and a force-feedback surgical trainer.
