H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.The complaint of a leaking y-site was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was one 19g powerloc infusion set w/y-site.A gross visual inspection of the returned unit found that two injection caps were returned attached to the two luers of the infusion set.The unit was leak tested by flushing water through each of the injection caps using a 12ml luer lok syringe.During testing, no leaks were observed.The same leak test was performed, except with the clamps engaged to simulate pressurization.A leak was then observed between the injection cap and the luer of the y-site.The injection cap was inspected and found to be loosely attached to the luer.The injection cap was tightened and the pressurized leak test performed again.No leaks were observed.Finally the unit was leak tested with and without pressurization by connecting the luer lok syringe directly to the luer of the infusion set and no leaks were observed again.Based on the available evidence, the reported leak was present but was caused by inadequate tightening of the injection cap.
