Event Description
|
Patient's nurse noticed an unusual "bubble" in the iv tubing from a bd alaris pump infusion set with back check valve - ref # (b)(4).The bubble was noticed when the nurse unloaded the iv tubing from the alaris carefusion infusion pump.The "bubble" is in the portion of the tubing that goes into the peristaltic portion of the infusion pump.No pump alarms sounded.The "bubble" is 2 cm long and 1.5 cm in diameter.As far as the nurse could tell the bubble in the tubing did not interfere with the operation of the pump or the delivery of the medicine.Unfortunately the tubing package was not available to get the lot number.Based on the lot numbers of the extra packages in the patient's nurse-server care it is possible that the unusual tubing was from one of these three lot numbers: (10) 18113112, (10)181113126 or (10)18116462.The iv pump serial number was not recorded.It remains in use within the facility.
