In phlebotomy, each tube has a specific level that it must be filled to. If the phlebotomist pulled the tube off before it was completely filled, that could cause a short-draw. Phlebotomists' sometimes do this to save time. If during the collection the blood flow stopped, and the phlebotomist could not get it to flow again (due to a possible trauma to the vein), and he did not take another sample from another spot. Then that would result in a short draw as well.
