Event or Problem Description
Additional information provided: these ports do not always lock easily over the needle bevel.In practice, nurses typically check the safety mechanism and, if it is not fully engaged, will reposition and reattempt to ensure it is properly covered.In this situation, the patient had self-disconnected and brought the device in for disposal.When the nurse went to discard it, she sustained the needlestick injury.Patients are not familiar with ensuring the safety mechanism is fully engaged.
