How do I know if the vacutainer needle is already used because in case of syringe it taken out from a packet in front of patients but vacutainer needle is simply taken out from box  and there is no packet from which it is taken out so there a chances that it turns out to be a used needle .??

Vacutainer needles are locked..you break the lock and use it and then dispose it...If the lock is broken..it means that there's a possibility that it might have been used before.
