What does EPINet stand for?

Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet) data from a sharps-injury database coordinated by the International Healthcare Worker Safety Center, University of Virginia, shows that from 1993 to 2001 approximately 5% of injuries were caused by vacuum blood-collection needles/tube holder sets.

Despite the time lag, Jagger, who operates the Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet) surveillance system for gathering data on HCW blood exposures, applauds the FDA initiative.

The center has developed a computerized surveillance system for needlesticks and other bloodborne pathogen exposures for health care workers, called the Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet).

StatLock is recognized by the Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet), New York State, and the Frontline Healthcare Workers Safety Foundation as a needlestick safety device.

Jagger developed the Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet) to help healthcare organizations comply with OSHA's record keeping requirements in the 1991 Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.

Also included in this section is information compiled from the Exposure Prevention Information Network surveillance system used by about 1,500 U.

Data gathered by the Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet), an international computerized system based at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, show that disposal-related injuries occur in significant numbers.

EPINet provides data Many of the data on IV catheters and phlebotomy devices were derived from the Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet), a national computerized data collection and analysis system that provides specific identification of injury-causing needle and sharps devices, allowing hospitals to target high-risk devices and evaluate the efficacy of new devices designed to prevent injuries.
