Accidental exposure to bloodborne pathogens is a
concern of all healthcare workers. EPINet
®
1999 data
from 21 hospitals document 1,996 needlestick and
sharps injuries. Nurses, nursing students, and IV
teams accounted for 45% (885) of all reported
injuries.
1
A common source of needlestick injury is through
urine sampling via catheter.

”Ideally, the most
effective way of removing the hazard of a
contaminated needle is to eliminate the needle
completely by converting to needleless systems.”

VENOUS BLOOD COLLECTIONURINE COLLECTION
CAUTION: Handle all biological samples and blood collection “sharps” (lancets, needles, luer adapters, and blood
collection sets) in accordance with the policies and procedures of your facility. Obtain appropriate medical attention
in the event of any exposure to biologic samples (e.g., through a puncture injury) since samples may transmit viral
hepatitis, HIV (AIDS), or other infectious agents. Utilize any safety-engineered feature if the blood collection device
provides one. Discard all blood collection “sharps” into biohazard containers approved for their disposal.
