Event Description
|
It was reported that the gra 15dp ckv 3ss w/2 4w stpck dehp free experienced component separation, and leakage.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: standard bd smartsite gravity iv set have defective stopcocks that will not tighten.They are used as the standard iv srt oncold lines in the or.Despite tightening they will still become loose and cause potential harm to patient.On this specific event i had tightened the stopcocks prior to pushing induction medications.They appeared to be securely tightened.We had prepped the l arm hiding the iv site and tubing in the same arm we were placing a large bore micro-puncture catheter.While placing the line (needle in arm), we noticed that the iv was dripping well despite there being a tourniquet on the arm.We then moved the drape and noticed the stopcocks had disconnected and intravenous fluid and approximately 100cc of patient's blood were lost from the iv set disconnection.There are many other instances, most don't get put into our qms system.I don't have the particular lot number but as i said it happens too frequently to be a one time manufacturing issue.There is some element of design which prevents the stopcocks from tightening.
