A complaint on an unknown date in june involving an anti-siphon valve experienced leakage.It was reported that the anti-siphon valve was leaking onto the bed.Educator was brought in to assess.Anti-siphon valve was removed.Valve itself looked intact but was leaking.There was a patient involvement and no adverse event.Update 1: the reporter also stated that "i happened to be called into a room when the bedside nurse had noted that an anti-siphon valve on her lipid infusion was leaking.The anti-siphon valve was removed, and i personally attached a saline flush to check and see if it was still leaking and it was.I noticed it was leaking where it was connected to my saline syringe so i removed it and replaced it again also ensuring it was tight so that i could be positive it wasn¿t user error.It continued to leak.The nurse stated that she had not noticed it leaking prior to this.I then removed a new anti-siphon valve from a package and checked that with the saline syringe and there was no leaking.".
