Event Description

A medsun mandatory medwatch report was received that stated, "closed medication set hung with 250cc of normal saline infused 14 hours later, unintentionally.New 250cc bag hung and was empty 12 hours later, also unintentionally.Patient received 500cc of normal saline.Md notified.No changes made to plan of care.No harm came to patient.Patient continues to receive prn lasix.Product issue notification form completed and submitted with tubing to materials management.The tubing is a closed system only used on this unit.Prevent having to open up lines in compromised patient's tubing.Tubing attaches to the patient and stays attached, half way up tubing is an area for a syringe and looks like syringe tubing that stays attached and is for medication delivery, it stays on pump when not in use.Also, there is also a one-way valve that is not the tubing that should prevent any higher up fluid from infusing from the flush bag of saline solution which is at the top other end of the tubing.There is a clamp under the flush bag at the top of the tubing but is reportedly not clamped because with the one way valve there is not thought to be a way that the fluid would just flow, generally to get the fluid out of the top flush bag you need to pull on the syringe below to pull the flush from the bag.With the one-way valve nothing should be able to free flow, tubing was set up correctly.The only possibility is that the valve had an issue.Has not occurred before." additional information received that the event occurred in the patient room at the hospital and the original intended procedure was closed system normal saline bag on top should not infuse, used for flush only.There was patient involvement and no adverse event and no delay in therapy.
