Vitestro, a Netherlands-based medical robotics company, has launched Aletta\u2122, the world\u2019s first Autonomous Robotic Phlebotomy Device\u2122 (ARPD\u2122). This CE-marked technology utilises AI-powered Doppler ultrasound imaging to identify veins and employs robotic-controlled needle insertion for blood collection, promising enhanced precision and consistency compared to traditional manual methods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clinical validation demonstrates comparable safety profile<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Aletta system, named after pioneering Dutch physician Dr. Aletta Jacobs, has undergone clinical validation in over 4,000 patients, demonstrating safety and comfort levels comparable to or better than conventional manual blood draws. This extensive testing has established a foundation for the device\u2019s CE marking and initial commercial deployment across European healthcare facilities.<\/p>\n

Aletta\u2019s development addresses several pressing challenges in healthcare diagnostics, particularly the growing shortage of qualified phlebotomy personnel. By automating routine blood collection procedures, the technology aims to liberate healthcare professionals for more complex patient care activities while maintaining consistent sampling quality.<\/p>\n

Advanced technical capabilities enhance diagnostic precision<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The system\u2019s technical architecture combines several sophisticated elements that work synergistically to optimise venous blood sampling. AI algorithms analyse ultrasound images to identify optimal venepuncture sites, while precision robotics execute the blood draw with standardised technique.<\/p>\n
