Why now?

Contaminated syringes have been shown to cause Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections (CR-BSI).

CR-BSI is the most life-threatening of all healthcare-acquired infections, estimated to cost the healthcare system more than $2 billion annually.

Since 2008, legislation has required hospitals not Medicare to cover the costs associated with hospital-acquired conditions that could reasonably have been prevented. Conditions subject to this provision include catheter-associated bloodstream infections.
