Event Description

It was reported that 2 syringe 1ml ll w/ndl eclipse 27x1/2 rb experienced a safety mechanism failure resulting in a dirty needle stick injury.Product defect occurred after use.It has not been specified whether medical intervention was administered as a result of the dirty needle stick.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: material no.305789, batch no.Unknown.I have now had 2 staff with needle sticks related to malfunctioning safety shields on the bd eclipse 27g x ½" needle, plus others who have expressed concerns but were not stuck.Unfortunately, none of them provided a lot number or expiration date, however i believe all of the concerns have arisen in the last month or two, if that helps.Concerns have included: after the safety shield was engaged, the needle bent and poked out the side of the shield.The rn heard the shield click and it appeared to be engaged but then it disengaged/flipped down leaving the needle exposed.The safety shield bent & cracked when engaged, leaving the needle exposed the shield fell off.I know nurses have also expressed that the flip-up shield safety feature is more challenging to engage and leaves more room for a needle-stick injury than a safety device that engages automatically following injection (such as a pop-up shield that is activated by depressing the plunger).
