Legislation Health and Safety Regulations 2013 No. 645

1. Development and Rationale behind UCD®

Use and disposal of medical sharps 5. (1) An employer must ensure that—

(a) the use of medical sharps at work is avoided so far as is reasonably practicable (b) when medical sharps are used at work, safer sharps are used so far as is reasonably practicable (c) needles that are medical sharps are not capped after use at work unless—

(i) that act is required to control a risk identified by an assessment undertaken pursuant to regulation 3 of the Management of

Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999(1); and

(ii) the risk of injury to employees is effectively controlled by the use of a suitable appliance, tool or other equipment (d) in relation to the safe disposal of medical sharps that are not designed for re-use— (i) written instructions for employees, and (ii)clearly marked and secure containers are located close to areas where medical sharps are used at work.

(2) An employer must review at suitable intervals the policies and procedures in place to meet the requirements of

paragraph (1) so as to ensure that those policies and procedures remain up to date and effective.

Legislation Health and Safety Regulations 2013 No. 645

1. Development and Rationale behind UCD®

Information and training 6.—(1) An employer must provide each employee of that employer who is exposed to a risk of injury at work from medical sharps with information on the matters specified in Schedule 1. (2) In complying with paragraph (1) the employer must cooperate with worker representatives in that employer’s undertaking in developing and promoting the information specified in Schedule 1. (3) In paragraph (2), “worker representatives” means any— (a) safety representatives within the meaning of the Safety Representatives and Safety Committees Regulations 1977(1); or (b) representatives of employee safety within the meaning of the Health and Safety (Consultation with Employees) Regulations 1996(2).

(4) An employer must provide each employee of that employer who is exposed to a risk of injury at work from medical

sharps with training on the matters specified in Schedule 2 to the extent that those matters are relevant to the type of work carried

out by that employee

Legislation Health and Safety Regulations 2013 No. 645

1. Development and Rationale behind UCD®

Arrangements in the event of injury 7.—(1) Where an employer is notified of any incident at work in which an employee has suffered an injury from a medical sharp, the employer must— (a) record the incident;

(b) investigate the circumstances and cause of the incident; and

(c) take any necessary action to prevent a recurrence (2) Additionally, where an employer is notified of any incident at work in which an employee has suffered an injury caused by a medical sharp that exposed, or may have exposed, the employee to a biological agent, the employer must— (a) take immediate steps to ensure that the employee receives medical advice; (b) ensure that any treatment advised by a registered medical practitioner, including post-exposure prophylaxis, is made available to the employee; and (c) consider providing the employee with counselling.

(3) In this regulation— (a) “biological agent” means a micro-organism, cell culture or human endoparasite, whether or not genetically modified, which may cause infection, allergy, toxicity or otherwise create a hazard to human health; and (b) “post-exposure prophylaxis” means a course of treatment of medicine administered to a person after exposure, or suspected exposure, to a biological agent in order to prevent infection or development of disease caused by that biological agent.

1. Development and Rationale behind UCD®

Notification of injuries 8.—(1) Person “A”, who is an employee or other person working under the supervision and direction of a healthcare employer or a

healthcare contractor, must—

(a) as soon as practicable, notify A’s employer, or any other employee of that employer with specific responsibility for the health

and safety of persons at work, of any incident at work in which A has suffered an injury from a medical sharp; and

(b) provide when requested by that employer sufficient information as to the circumstances of the incident to enable the employer to comply with regulation 7. (2) In the case of an employee or other person working under the supervision and direction of a healthcare contractor, this regulation only applies to incidents which take place— (a) on a healthcare employer’s premises; or (b) under the authority of a healthcare employer

Policies/Guidelines:

https://www.nice.org.uk/Search?q=+urethral+catheterisation+trauma

“The technology described (Urethrotech UCD) is designed to be used for difficult or failed catheterisations in men.

The innovative aspect is that it is the only currently available system which integrates a guidewire into a standard Foley catheter.

The intended place in therapy would be instead of cystoscopy and supra-pubic catheterisation methods after standard catheterisation has failed, or when it is difficult (such as in men with an enlarged prostate).

The device could potentially be used in any healthcare setting by appropriately trained staff.

Clinical study evidence (157 patients in a UK setting) show that the Urethrotech UCD can be a useful urethral catheterisation method in men, and reported no adverse events.

The cost of the Urethrotech UCD is £198.98 per unit (exclusive of VAT).

The resource impact may be less than standard care, if the Urethrotech UCD avoids the need for more complex and costly cystoscopy and suprapubic catheterisations as second-line procedures.”

Summary: “The UCD would be used as an optional intermediated step before cystoscopy and suprapubic catheterisation”

Incidence of difficult re-catheterisation in Nurse-led Trial Without

Catheter (TWOC) and catheter change clinics: Does the re-

catheterisation using a guide wire make a difference? Dragova M1, Bamfo A1,Kevin Holmes2, Kirk Attard2, Bugeja S2, Lock A1, Frost A1, Mundy A1

1 University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Urology, London, UK

2 Mater Dei Hospitals, Urology, Msida, Malta

Introduction The use of guide wires is well established in surgical practice, but relatively new in Nurse-led services. The aim of this study was to

investigate the incidence of difficult re-catheterisation and whether guide wire based urethral catheterisation technique reduces the

incidence of disrupted patient care pathways.

Materials and Methods • Retrospective Audit (September 2016-August 2017) • Prospective Audit (September 2017-Decmeber 2017) • Two Health Care Services (HCS)

HCS – A: Mater Dei Hospital, Malta

HCS – B: UCLH, London, UK • TWOC Service delivered by Clinical Nurse Specialist’s in both HCS

HCS – A : ‘DIY-guide wire - catheterisation’ enabled

HCS – B: not guide wire enabled until UCD implementation Sept 2017

UCD Advantages - catheter with integrated guide wire

· Integrated non-traumatic hydrophilic Nitinol guide wire into

standard 3-way silicone Foley catheter

· Facilitates safe second-line urethral catheterisation after failed

catheterisation attempt and prevents urethral trauma · Ready-to-use Single medical device when needed, 5-year

shelf life · Avoids needle-stick injury risk associated with 'DIY'-guide-wire-

catheterisation · Easy-to-use without assistance, requires minimal training,

empowers Nurse-led services · Avoids Patient Care delays and Urologist referral for more

invasive second-line catheterisation under vision, or SPC

insertion

Conclusions • Difficult re-catheterisation is a frequent occurrence and has a significant risk of urethral trauma.

• Traumatic catheterisation can be avoided by passing a catheter over a guide-wire, thus reducing patient care delays.

• Prevents unnecessary hospital referrals for more invasive specialist interventions.

• The Urethrotech UCD™ offers a purpose built 2nd line catheterisation solution which is easy and safe to use with high user and patient

satisfaction.

Results I – Retrospective Audit (Sept 2016- August 2017)

Results II – Prospective Audit (September – December 2017) HCS-B was attended by 194 men for TWOC. All 19% (36/194) who failed

the TWOC were now managed successfully by the CNS, and 3 UCD were

used as a second-line catheter on three occasions. No urology referrals

had to be made and no bleeding occurred as a result of catheterisation.
