Event Description

According to the reporter, the patient underwent hemodialysis treatment on the day of the event.When the nurse inspected the patient at 08:50, it was found that the a19 machine had an alarm that indicated low venous pressure and insufficient blood flow.The nurse immediately reported it to the doctor and head nurse to check the pipeline.After the pipeline was checked, it was found that the venous end or the connection between the venous silicone extension tube and luer adapter of the catheter was damaged (had small holes) and had bleeding (blood or liquid leakage), which made normal dialysis impossible.There was nothing unusual observed on the device prior to use.There were no other products utilized with the device.There was no excessive force used on the device.The clamp was moved periodically.The cleaning agent used on the device was iodophor cotton balls.The insertion site was treated with iodophor cotton balls prior to product placement.The cleaning agent was allowed to dry thoroughly prior to applying ointment to the area.There was no issue with the machine that could contribute to the event.To resolve the issue, the patient was immediately removed from the machine and needed to be re-tubed.The product was replaced on the same day of the event.The treatment was completed after resolving the issue.There was a very small amount of blood loss, and a blood transfusion was not required due to the event.There was no medical intervention/treatment provided to the patient due to the event.There was no reported patient injury.
