It was reported that a large volume infusor did not appear to fully deliver its contents.The device was filled with a baxter compounded solution: 8000 mg of flucloxacillin in 240 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride.The device was then connected to a patient for an infusion (treatment for finger pain) expected to last for 24 hours.The reporter stated that at the end of the 24 hours, although the reservoir should have appeared deflated, it was inflated to a larger size than a ¿standard full infusor of 240 ml.¿ a nurse then disconnected the device from the patient, flushed the involved line, found no occlusion, and connected a new infusor to the patient.Later in the same day, the patient reported feeling continued finger pain and severe chest pain, which was not reported before the event.There was no patient injury or medical intervention that was causally related to this event.Additional information was requested and is not available.This is report 1 of 2 for this patient.
