Event Description

According to the reporter, blood leakage at the arterial end (exit site) was found during dialysis (post-operative use).It was said that the cut on the arterial extension tube did not lead to detachment of the luer adapter as it was the extension tube that came out of the arterial luer adapter (no luer adapter issue).Nothing unusual was observed on the device/s prior to dialysis.No cleaning agent was used on the device.Tego was not utilized.The insertion site was treated with iodophor disinfection prior to product placement.No other products were being utilized with the device.The clamps were moved to a new location after each treatment.There was a blood loss of 10-20ml but no blood transfusion was required.The patient had no medical intervention/treatment due to the event.The entire short tube was replaced on the same day of the event and it resolved the issue.The treatment was then completed.There was no reported patient injury.
