Primul robot care recoltează sânge, autorizat în SUA

The FDA has approved the first autonomous robotic device for blood collection from patients, designed for outpatient use. Developed by Vitestro, the Aletta system automates the procedure under medical supervision. It uses infrared light and Doppler ultrasound to locate veins, and can be monitored by a single healthcare professional overseeing multiple devices. Clinical data showed successful collection rates comparable to trained staff, with minimal adverse events reported. This innovation aims to address public health needs amid a shortage of medical personnel.
