Event Description
|
It was reported by a health care provider: during a refill of an intera 3000 hepatic artery infusion pump, the infusion staff initially saw clear fluid return into the collection syringe.After the initial clear fluid, blood began to fill the syringe.The nurse accessed and received more clear fluid then "bright red blood" appeared.They did receive a total of 13mls fluid, which was the correct amount indicating the pump is flowing correctly.They then proceeded to fill with 30mls of the high dose heparinized saline as they knew they were in the correct placement as they were feeling pressure.They injected all 30mls using the 5mls in 1ml out process and saw no blood returning.The patient was sent for a stat ct scan.It was later reported that the ct scan was reported 'fine' and that the surgeon thinks that it was 'aggressive access' or that the pump pocket was accessed.It was also reported that the rn attempted to access and could not locate septum.She tried multiple times and went through 2 refill kits.She was getting what looked like solution, but she wasn't in the correct spot, this may have been pump pocket fluid.The surgeon then attempted to access twice and finally was in the correct position, no residual, [intera clinical] asked him to inject 5ml's of injectable saline and allow it to return, it did.At this point he deemed the pump was dry.The pump was filled with high dose heparinized saline.A haps (pump study) was later performed, which was reported to be normal.The residuals reported after 2 weeks were also reported to be as expected.
