Pt has port to r chest.I was preparing to stop her iv fluids and heparin lock her line prior to de-access and discharge.I noted that the line was connected to the port cap, but the connection looked crooked.I removed the line, and upon twisting the line off of the cap, the cap cracked, and top half of the cap fell off.The cap was then changed by two rns, the line was flushed and heparin locked.The cap was saved in a plastic bag and put in the mailbox for reference.Manufacturer response for microclave connector for iv tubing, microclave connector (per site reporter).The representative was called and told about the device by our procurement & strategic sourcing.However, i have no knowledge of any follow up.
