The event involved a 10" (25 cm) appx 2.6 ml, ext set, quadfuse w/3 clave¿ clear, chemolock¿ port, 5 clamps (3 white, 1 blue, 1 red), luer lock where the customer reported that they have had incident reports of quadfuse breaking off from the luer connection.All the breaks happened where the male luer lock inserts into the patient¿s microclave cap.This resulted in blood loss and ivf loss for the patients, chemo spills, and can potentially cause great harm for the patients.The customer stated that there were many incidences of broken equipment but they are unable to give accurate information about which broken extension tubing (bi/tri/quad fuse) had harm; the customer further stated that most did have some harm in blood loss but the volume of blood loss was not able to be obtained.The customer stated that the majority of the blood loss was not substantial enough to require blood transfusion.There may have been some chemo exposure, but none required emergent care or treatment.Should additional information become available, a follow up report will be submitted.
