Abstract

See full text

The penetration of a vein or the like by a fluid collecting or dispensing needle is rapidly confirmed by the transfer of thermal energy from fluid entering the needle bore upon such penetration to a temperature responsive medium in intimate contact with the exterior of the needle. The temperature responsive medium may comprise thermochromic liquid crystals which signal a change in temperature from ambient temperature by changing color.
