The event involved a 112" 15 drop primary set w/3 microclave¿, 3-port nanoclave¿ manifold, check valve, rotating luer where it was reported the valves in the manifold seem to malfunction (specifically the port proximal to the patient).It was stated that the part that is having an issue is the third port on the manifold, closest to the patient/end of the set.The clinicians prime the set, close the roller clamp at the top, and then attach the syringes to the manifold for when they are ready to administer the medication.The port on the manifold closest to the patient is pulling the medication from the attached syringe on its own and into the patient.This occurred after the lines were primed and hooked up to the patient but prior to the start of infusion causing the medication to be delivered prematurely to the patient without a clinician administering it.There was patient involved, however, no patient harm and no delay in therapy.
