Event or Problem Description
Material #305197.Batch # 4159416.Verbatim: we have been seeing a lot of coring happening in our vials as we are making ivs.So, we wanted to check in to see if there is a problem reported with the needles recently.Or possibly a new process of them being made which has made them duller.We use the bd precisionglide 16gx1" tw (1.6mm x 25mm).The lot number of the current batch of needles is 4159416 and the expiration of 7-31-2029.There is a list of a sample of our vials that we have cored lately down below.I understand that coring is bound to happen, but it seems like it has been happening a lot more recently.I've worked here for almost eight years and very rarely have seen vials core.Customer response on 13jan.Sorry for the extended time frame on a reply.I cannot nail down the exact dates because it happens all the time now.  i've noticed it more often in the past 6 months or so.  the issue didn't hurt the patient that we know of because we caught it.  what i am afraid of is we miss one and it does affect our patients.  we are very careful with paying attention to coring but if it is sticking to a port or something of that nature we might miss it.  there isn't really a way to provide a total number of occurrences because we have several iv technicians that work with our iv compounding.Today i will count how many occurrences and what specific vials it happens to, so you are able to get a rough estimate for a ten-hour shift.  i will also see if i can get other people today to let me know when and what drug it happens to.  has there been a change in manufacturing in some way?  or a different process in manufacturing the needles?  the current lot that we have is 4212473 with an expiration of 09/30/2029 with a reference number of (b)(4).The type of needle we use is bd precision glide needle 16gx1".  i have been working at this facility for almost 8 years, and this is the first time i have had such a problem with needles.  we use so many of these needles on a daily basis.  thank you for your help and concern in this matter.
