It was reported that 4 bd phaseal¿ protectors p53 experienced leakage between the protector and vial during use.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: leakage between vial and protector (p53) when preparing piperacillin/tazobactam.This has happened at least 4 times.All from the same lot no.Normally they are using p21 for smaller drug vials with diameter 20 mm, from fresenius kabi.Now this size is on backorder they have instead received larger vials with diameter 32 mm and therefore need the p53 protector to fit.These vials are from (b)(6), with (b)(6) labeled vials.

The following fields were updated due to additional information: d.10.Device available for evaluation?: yes.D.10.Returned to manufacturer on: (b)(6) 2020.H.6.Investigation: one protector sample connected to a vial from piperacillin/tazobactam fresenius kabi, along with two unused protectors and two unused vials of piperacillin/tazobactam fresenius kabi vials were provided to our quality team for investigation.The protectors were visually inspected, no damage or defects were observed on the protectors or protector needles.Functional testing was performed on all samples, connecting the unused samples to the vials of piperacillin/tazobactam using the m12 fixture.In all cases liquid inside the syringe could move to the vial and back to the syringe without issue, the expansion chamber expanded properly, the product functioned as intended, and no leakages were observed.A device history review was performed for reported lot 1910114, no deviations or non-conformances were identified during the manufacturing process that could have contributed to this reported issue.Leakage testing is performed for all lots during manufacturing to ensure the quality of the membrane.Testing results were reviewed for lot 1910114 and no issues related to the reported incident were identified.Based on the available information we are not able to determine a root cause at this time.
