Conditions
Summary
The investigators will implement a protocol for use of the PIVO device for blood culture collection in the emergency department. This protocol utilizes the device in various scenarios to reduce needlesticks while allowing for accurate and appropriate assessment of potential pathogens in the bloodstream. The study team will train staff on use of the device then monitor utilization and contamination rates among emergency department patients.

Interventions
The PIVO device, a needle-free blood draw device, may be used through an IV to obtain a blood sample and extends beyond the IV to ideally reduce the potential for contamination and to improve success in obtaining a sample. Per Google AI: "PIVO™ by Velano Vascular stands for Peripheral IV Origin, a needle-free blood draw device that uses a patient's existing peripheral IV (PIV) line to collect blood, avoiding extra needle sticks and reducing pain, hemolysis, and contamination, facilitating the "One-Stick Hospital Stay" goal for better patient care."
