MORE ABOUT MONARCH

The Monarch Blood Collection Set was created and designed to provide the safest
device to all clinicians who perform blood draws. We also want to prevent
injuries downstream that include other clinical team members, EVS, and laundry
workers.

The National Library of Medicine states that one of the factors that increase
the risk of exposure to bodily fluids is using needles or other sharp devices
that lack safety features. The Monarch Blood Collection Set is the only device
that completed protects user from the needle sharp once it has been fully
retracted.

WHAT CHARACTERISTICS DID WE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHEN CREATING THE MONARCH?

Desirable Characteristics of Devices with Safety Features

 * The safety feature is an integral part of the device.
 * If user activation is necessary, the safety feature can be engaged with a
   single-handed technique and allows the worker’s hands to remain behind the
   exposed sharp.
 * The user can easily tell whether the safety feature is activated.
 * The safety feature cannot be deacti- vated and remains protective through
   disposal.
 * The device performs reliably.
 * The device is easy to use and practical.
 * The device is safe and effective for patient care.

WHAT IS THE COST?

The exposure risk of needlestick injuries is far greater than is commonly
reported. While Aids, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are amongst the more severe
diseases that can be contracted via sharps penetration, there are in fact more
than 60 bloodborne pathogens that can be contracted as a result of a sharps
injury.

In the US, the estimated cost of a single Needlestick Injury (NSI) treatment
ranges between US$500 to US$4,000 (note: as of September 2022, the average cost
of a single sharps injury is $4,352 based on inflation-adjusted research).1,4
Leveraging these costs, the annual economic burden of NSIs in the US was
estimated to be between US$118 million to US$591 million (based on national
occurrence of 236,000 cases)2 For the more serious cases, however, the costs can
far exceed the average. According to the American Hospital Association, one case
of serious infection by bloodborne pathogens can cost US$1 million or more in
expenditures for testing, follow up tests, lost time and disability payments.
