Some CPTs explain their work to patients and assist if patients have adverse reactions after their blood is drawn. Certified phlebotomy technicians must carefully identify and label the sample they have drawn and enter it into a database. To avoid contamination, phlebotomy technicians must keep their workspace and medical instruments clean and sanitary.
