Carefusion syringe administration set smallbore tubing with pressure sensing disc ref (b)(4) the patient came up from the er with the insulin running on a syringe pump with this syringe pump tubing on the insulin.It was running at 1.33 ml/h and was running without problems.The pressure sensor on the line was showing about 1/6 of the line of pressure.During the shift the syringe pump kept beeping occlusion without the sensor bar filling up.This was resolved by the patient straightening out his arm and reset.The iv was in his ac.This was happening about every hour or so, after a while i changed out the syringe pump to see if that would resolve the issue, but it did not.Around 0400 i brought in new tubing, re-primed the new tubing milking the disk and restarted the insulin drip on the syringe pump.This time the pressure bar was not there on the channel and the pump ran without problems.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
