Rituximab made for patient and placed into baxter intravia container 500ml capacity iv bag, lot dr22h18093.When rn pulled the blue tab off the port to administer, the inner tubing also came out which left the port as an open hole.Rn tried to spike it without the inner tubing and the medication leaked around the spike which made the rn question what happened to the port (at this point this is when they realized the inner tubing came out when it wasn't supposed to).High cost medication waste due to bag malfunction.New bag was made for patient and administered without any issues (same lot empty bag used).
