BIOACCESS BONE MARROW COLLECTION SYSTEM RECOGNIZED BY INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CARE WORKER SAFETY CENTER (EPINET™ NETWORK) AND PLACED ON SAFETY DEVICE LIST.

BioAccess announced the Bone Marrow Collection Kit had been reviewed by the International Health Care Worker Safety Center, developer of the Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet™), and placed on their Safety Device List.

The Bone Marrow Collection Kit (MH-2150) incorporates several design features that allow bone marrow harvesting, bone marrow collection and bone marrow filtration to occur while eliminating steps such as spraying of a blood product. Predicate and competitive devices require the healthcare worker to spray the bone marrow during the bone marrow collection.

The International Healthcare Worker Safety Center at the University of Virginia is dedicated to reducing this serious risk. Under the leadership of Janine Jagger, M.P.H., Ph.D., an internationally known expert in the prevention of needlesticks and occupational blood exposures, the Center has made major contributions to needle safety in the U.S. and many other countries. The International Healthcare Worker Safety Center, along with Dr. Jagger developed the EPINet™ network, a system for reporting and analyzing sharp object injuries and blood and body fluid exposures.
