Reported risk: BD has received multiple reports of units associated with the affected lots exhibiting separation of front and rear barrels upon activation of the safety feature, which retracts the needle. Barrel separation can result in an exposed needle, which may lead to accidental needle sticks or leakage of blood, which may result in exposure to blood borne pathogens.
