In August 2011, Dean Clinic announced it had become aware that one of its diabetes nurse educators had potentially been misusing needle stick devices and insulin demonstration pens. Dean chose to contact each patient who may have had contact with the employee.
Dean cooperated with the Department of Health Services, Division of Public Health (DPH), interviewing nearly all identified patients and testing those patients Dean believed could have been put at risk of blood borne pathogen exposure.
Recently, the Division of Public Health issued its final report to Dean on the incident. In the report, DPH found no evidence of transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C associated with this incident.
