1 Abstract<br />
The EU-guideline 2010/32 provides a legal fundament for the mandatory implementation<br />
of safety-products in hospitals.<br />
A wide range of safety-products is offered by different manufacturers, ranging from<br />
unfunctional prototypes to high-end state-of-the-art products. Judging usefulness and prac-<br />
ticability of safety-products by literature research seems insufficient, as substantial inter-<br />
ventions in clinical routine procedures require sophisticated prearrangement.<br />
According to this prerequisite the best-suited safety-products were to be found in an in-<br />
house testing arrangement and further to be implemented. To reach this goal, established<br />
manufacturers of medical safety-products were invited to provide test samples -<br />
predominantly for venous puncture-, which were tested and analyzed by a cross-functional<br />
team under real life conditions of everyday clinical work. Implementation of the safety-<br />
products focused on intensive employee training and the adaption and creation of standard-<br />
operating-procedures to reach congruence between safety-products and manipulation.<br />
The aim of this paper is to find the best-suited and most user-friendly safety-products,<br />
which allow combined with staff training and standard operating procedures a significant<br />
reduction of the risk of needlestick injuries for the employees. Furthermore, the implemen-<br />
tation of safety-products in the Medical Center West is a core requirement to fulfill the<br />
demands of the EU-guideline 2010/32.<br />
