COMPLAINT: (B)(4); MDR: 1024879-2019-01288. 5. THE SUMMARY THE HHE CONSIDERED THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS, HARMS, SEVERITIES, AND LIKELIHOOD OF OCCURRENCE RELATED TO THE PRODUCT, SPECIFICALLY THE REPORTED ISSUE REGARDING THE SAFETY MECHANISM NOT FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED. EXPOSURE TO BLOOD, INCLUDING BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS REPRESENTS A POTENTIAL FOR IMMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM HEALTH CONSEQUENCE TO THE HEALTHCARE WORKER. THIS WOULD BE IN THE PRESENCE OF A NEEDLESTICK INJURY TO THE HCW AFTER THE DEVICE WAS USED ON A PATIENT AS WELL AS BLOOD LEAKAGE FROM THE DEVICE WHICH COULD COME IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE UNPROTECTED SKIN (NOT FOLLOWING PROPER PPE PROCEDURE) OF THE HCW COLLECTING THE BLOOD. THE LIKELIHOOD OF HEALTH RISK FROM THE USAGE OF UNNECESSARY POST-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS (PEP) AND LABORATORY TESTING DUE TO CONTAMINATED NEEDLE STICK INJURY OR EXPOSURE OF NON-INTACT SKIN IS CONSIDERED MINIMAL. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY DOCUMENTED LITERATURE THAT INDICATES GOOD EFFICACY OF PEP BEING OBSERVED WITH NO SEROCONVERSION. GENERAL AWARENESS FOR THE USE OF SHARPS AS WELL AS THE USE OF GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IS KNOWN TO HELP DECREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF EXPOSURE TO BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS. 6. INVESTIGATION SUMMARY ROOT CAUSE INVESTIGATION INDICATES A MIS-ALIGNMENT OF TOOLING TO LOAD AND ASSEMBLE COMPONENTS IN THE ASSEMBLY LINE. BD PAS HAS INITIATED CAPA 982194 TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED. 7. RECALL REFERENCE #, EITHER BD INTERNAL OR RES/Z# PLEASE REFERENCE BD RECALL # PAS-19-1567.
