Arterial line tubing was connected to patient.About 5 minutes later, the rn at bedside noticed blood backing up in the arterial line.Assessing the system, the rn checked all connections that should come apart and they were secure.The tubing had come apart from a blood sampling port.The patient had 10 ml of blood loss.The rn immediately changed out the tubing for a new setup.The arterial line setup was just out of packaging.Manufacturer response for transducer, blood-pressure, extravascular, icu medical (per site reporter).Sent a list of questions for me to respond to.
