Event or Problem Description

As reported by the user facility: customer reports leaking iv tubing filter.The item had a very expensive and important monoclonal infusing, blinatumomab, that requires consistent administration at 10 ml/hr.The tubing (and filter) is changed every 24 hours, to accommodate the consistent administration of this medication over the course of several weeks.The filter set appeared to be leaking at the filter site several hours after the start of the new bag, but the nurse was not able to discern the exact location of the leak.The filter part of the tubing kept getting wet, so the iv set had to be changed with the chemo.
