Nurse was placing a peripherally inserted central catheter (picc) and prepared sterile field by dropping a chloraprep one-step onto the field.During placement, the nurse attempted to cleanse the site.When the chloraprep was attempted to be utilized, the nurse snapped the wings to release the fluid but there was no snap and then the nurse noted that there was no fluid in the chamber.Another nurse dropped another chloraprep onto the field, and when the nurse went to use this cleanser device, the same occurred requiring a third chloraprep to be utilized.Both prior chlorapreps came from the same lot number.
