The customer reported that upon attaching a primed tpn infusion to a double lumen hickman catheter, the nurse noted leaking at the connection of the primary line with the 0.2 micron filter.The nurse then clamped the line, briefly detached the filter and reattached it to the end of the tubing below the infusion pump.When the infusion was restarted, the dripping occurred in the same location as previously noted.The 0.2 micron filter (only) was removed and replaced with a new filter, and the infusion continued without further leaks.
