The event involves a spinning spiros closed male luer, red cap that leaked doxorubicin at the beginning of an infusion.The nurses report the leak occurs from either the joint between the white cap and the grey-ish cylinder (spiros) or from the spiros itself.Additionally, they said it was not leaking where the syringe was connected to the white cap, therefore it was not a question of the device being wrongly connected.There was no contact of chemotherapy on the patient of healthcare provider.The chemo spill was cleaned per facility protocol since there were a few droplets on a double-thick waterproof towel.There was no obvious hole, cut, crack, rupture or defect noted on the spiros.The defective syringe and spiros were discarded, and the whole thing was replaced.There was patient involvement, but no harm reported.
