Section 105325
Status: in_force

The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:

(a)  In California, more than 700,000 health care workers and professionals, such as nurses, physicians and surgeons and housekeeping staff, are at risk of infection from bloodborne diseases, including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus, the causative agent of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.

(b)  Contaminated needlestick and other sharp instrument injuries threaten the well-being of health care workers and cost health care providers millions of dollars annually.

(c)  While health care employers have implemented rigorous, universal infection control procedures, requiring gloving and other protective equipment, exposure to bloodborne diseases continues to be a risk for health care workers.

(d)  Medical devices, such as needles, are reviewed by the federal Food and Drug Administration for patient safety and efficacy but are not reviewed by any state or federal agency for worker safety.

Improved product design of medical devices, such as needles, syringes, connectors for intravenous tubes, and vacuum blood collection systems, could reduce the number of sharps injuries.

(e)  Mechanisms for the collection and dissemination of information will allow health facilities to better evaluate safer devices and permit better comparisons across institutions.

(f)  Improvements in device and procedure-specific injury surveillance and information dissemination may increase market pressure to further improve medical device product design and enhance product evaluation.

(g)  Potential savings to the health care system from preventing exposure to bloodborne pathogens include reduced cost of followup procedures which occur following a sharps injury, such as source and employee testing, counseling, and prophylactic treatment. In addition, costs related to lost work time, personnel, insurance, possible legal problems, and workers compensation could be diminished.

(h)  It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to reduce exposure of health care workers to bloodborne diseases by encouraging the development and use of medical devices that are designed to assure worker safety, the safety of patients, and the efficacy of the device.
