Event desc: our facility has been ordering the b braun empty evacuated container for phlebotomies (blood letting) and other procedures.B braun has placed this item on an allocation with our vendor.The replacement item they recommended is the asept 1000ml drainage bottle with drain line.This is a poor substitution for a glass evacuated bottle.Their replacement item foams and the suction is less, causing a second needle stick to finish this procedure.Staff were not able to obtain the appropriate amount of blood from the patient, causing potential harm to the patient.What was the original intended procedure? therapeutic phlebotomies (blood letting).Device usage problem: device malfunction - that is, the device did.
