Event Description
|
22g peripheral ivs not working properly.There should be a flash of blood in the iv chamber when the rn or iv tech accesses the vein, however this flash is not occurring, which causes the rn/tech to not know whether have actually accessed the vein.It seems isolated to two lot numbers primarily, so there will be an internal recall of these specific lots.This primarily impacts the infusion therapy center (itc) and the iv/tx service as we place the majority of 22g pivs, however 22g piv of this brand are also stocked in our ors and radiology areas, so we will ensure these areas are aware of the issue.
