Material#: 305197, batch#: 4212473.Rcc received a complaint via email.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 305197.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.
