The event involved a chemolock¿ bag spike with additive port, chemolock¿ port, and a 500 ml bag of cytarabine.The nurse hung the bag on an iv pole to start the circle priming process and squeezed the drip chamber.Approximately 10 seconds later, the bag spike dislodged from the bag, and fell to the floor causing chemotherapy to spill from the opening.Chemotherapy proceeded to spill from the now open spout of the bag onto the iv pump, and floor of the med room, and splashed on the shoes and pant hems of the two nurses standing nearby.Both reacted quickly, moving away from the spilling chemo, and one was able to invert the bag to stop the flow.A green kelly clamp was used to pinch the spout closed.The nurses who had chemo splash on their shoes and pants reported that, as far as they could tell, no chemo had directly come in contact with their skin.There was no patient involvement as the device was not taken to the patient, therefore, no patient harm.
