It was reported that bd iag bc pro global needle did not retract.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: during insertion of a bd insyte autoguard bc pro 18g catheter, when i pressed to retract the catheter needle, the needle/catheter assembly started to come out of the vein (although the catheter was well mounted and positioned).I blocked the whole thing with a fingernail and realized that it was the green plastic edge that had been blown off and was blocking the retraction system.I was able to clear the plastic flange and didn't need to reinstall a catheter, but the anti-reflux system wasn't working and i was surprised to see blood flowing back into the needle retraction pocket.
