A blood leak was noticed and seemed to originate from the heparin line which was clamped and capped.Dialysis was stopped and fluids were given for hypotension.Patient was stabilized, blood pressure returned to baseline.Upon further inspection, it was noted the on/off clamp on the tubing was not completely clamping off the tubing even though in the closed position.Manufacturer response for dialysis tubing, streamline airless system set (per site reporter): they are sending a return box for the tubing.
