The device has not been returned; therefore, 3m is unable to verify the leak, identify exact location and root cause at this time.Based on the photo provided the tube detached from the spike component.Possible causes of tubing to spike detachment include pulling on tubing instead of holding on to the spike, excessive force on tubing when removing spike from infusion bag, or insufficient bond of tubing to spike.Spike to tubing bond failure can also be caused by over pressurization of set above 300 mmhg.A review of the batch record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported malfunction.This continues to be a low trend in spike complaints for high flow sets.3m will continue to monitor.
