It was reported that bd alaris pump module smartsite texium low sorbing infusion set was leaking.The following information was received by the initial reporter with the following verbatim.It was reported by the customer that we have experienced multiple occurrences of leakage from the tubing, which has not only compromised the integrity of our chemotherapy protocols but has also posed significant safety risks to our staff and patients.Specifically, we have documented four instances where leakage occurred during chemotherapy infusions, necessitating the activation of our hazardous materials team to clean contaminated areas.This process is not only disruptive but also increases the potential for exposure to hazardous substances, which is unacceptable in a clinical setting.Additionally, we encountered a critical incident where the texium adapter broke while a nurse was attempting to attach it to a patient's iv port.This situation not only delayed treatment but also put the patient at risk and caused considerable distress among our staff.
