Event Description

The distributor reported a administration set filter burst issue received at a user facility to zyno medical on (b)(6) 2018: "we are having issues with the filter sets, particularly when we run etoposide ivs.The lines will not run, and some of them burst from apparent pressure from not being able to run through." the distributor also confirmed the model number to be "b2-70072-f".The complaint handling unit lead at zyno medical followed up with the distributor on 02/14/2018 to confirm if the tubing was clamped below the filter and the drug that was infused during the incident: "etoposide should work with our tubing's with filter sets.Do you know if the customer had the tubing clamped below the filter? or if any other drug besides saline was used before etoposide?".The customer care representative of distributor responded, "no.All clamps were open.It happens about halfway to three quarters of the way through a bag.We only use saline for our etoposides." on 02/16/2018, zyno medical received more information directly from a representative at the user facility that the infusion pump would alarm "occlusion" prior to the filter burst.The quality engineer at zyno medical advised the user facility to lower the occlusion setting on the pump, substitute with the b2-700xx-df120 filter sets, or look at the mixing method used for the drugs.The representative at the user facility opted to speak with a sales representative at the distributor on 02/19/2018.The sales representative was informed by a nurse at the user facility that "the sample was not saved".On 02/20/2018, a corporate contract administrator at the user facility contacted the sales representative regarding the interim solution: "in the interim, is there a tubing and or pump replacement that can be utilized, also are all 0.22 micron tubing sets typically universal.Will the zyno pump accept tubing sets from another vendor ?".The sales representative responded that "we cannot recommend any tubing replacements.Our filtered sets are either.22 microns, or 1.2 microns.Your choice of sets is completely dependent on the drugs and solutions that you are infusing.I would consult your own pharmacy managers to discern what sets are appropriate.Zyno tubing must always be used with zyno pumps, with no exclusions.Also, it is against all company policies to use any sets, primary or secondary sets that are not zyno manufactured sets, for use with a zyno pump.No other sets are allowed to be used in the zyno pumps.This is a standard across the infusion industry, pumps are proprietary, and only zyno sets are to be used with zyno pumps.Additionally, it is recommended that you not use zyno sets with any pumps other than zyno medical pumps." on 02/23/2018, the clinical supervisor at the user facility confirmed the patient status that "no one was hurt by the incident" and the model number as "ref# b2-70072-f".The date of the incident was reported as "(b)(6) 2018" and the solutions used were "etoposide, normal saline".The clinical supervisor also reported that no secondary set was connected the primary set during the infusion and the primary infusion was set at "600ml/hour".The description of incident provided by the clinical supervisor is "while infusion was running alarm sounded for occlusion, at which point the filter burst".No patient information was available.
