Reason

Bard has notified customers of the potential for scalpel cut/stick injury following a change in the safety scalpel component in some bard peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) kits. For users accustomed to the previous scalpel (bard-parker safety scalpel), a risk of improper use of the new safe-cut safety scalpel was noted. The customer letter described important differences in operation between the previous and current scalpel products.
