Event Description

It was reported that sharps coll 72l yellow au lids are being locked before use.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: lids being locked before use.Staff advise they have recently been receiving these new containers in stock, with the lid slide already locked closed.In the attempts made to identify whether these were being delivered to onelink closed or were being closed somewhere between onelink and the receiving/ordering dhb dept, it has been highlighted that we have many new staff in onelink and inventory teams, and someone has followed the instructions on the lid, literally.Close door before transport.Clearly while inventory staff have not understood what these containers are for ¿ not unreasonable, these teams simply move stock as required ¿ the lids being locked has led to clinical staff using various methods to unlock the slides again so they could be filled, as required.They have been successful in unlocking them too¿ however this does create the potential that relocking them when full may not be as safe as it should be for transportation, as the mechanism may have been damaged.

Investigation summary: a photo representation was provided for investigation.A review of the device history record (dhr) and non-conforming material report (ncmr) for the reported container was performed and no manufacturing or material defects were identified that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.One of the photos showed a closed lid assembled with a container with nothing inside.Lids when provided directly from the manufacturer are tied and bound by a plastic strap in sets of five.Following the ifu the instructions are indicated for after use and when the collector is full once the contents have reached the fill line, that the door should be locked once ready for removal.Once the collector is locked this is a permanent closure and should not be reopened.It was noted that the lids have been handled by newer staff members and they may have misinterpreted the instruction for use.The root cause was determined to be improper training or misuse during assembly following the instructions for use.Bd will continue to monitor for any trends.H3 other text : see h.10.
