As reported by the user facility: reported issue: patient had saline lock in place to left hand iv.When rn removes iv tubing to saline lock patient from the saline lock hub, the hub backflows with blood causing the blood to drip all over patient prior to rn clamping tubing with provided clip.Charge rn assists rn in changing saline lock to patient's iv hub.Upon inspection, it appears that the "hub stopper" inside the hub lock is turned to the side, resulting in possible compromise of the backflow mechanism causing a "free flow effect".
