The event occurred on an unspecified date and involved a 8" smallbore ext set w/clave®, clamp, rotating luer where it was reported a patient was having laryngospasm.Iv inserted with no issue.Drugs were given directly in the catheter to treat the laryngospasm before the iv line was connected.When the iv line was connected, it was difficult to connect to t-connector to catheter.When catheter was connected, the line was leaking.Issue was resolved once the t-connector was changed.When defective t-connector was inspected, a large crack was found in the slip tip portion of the connector along with an extra piece of plastic bent inside the connector.There was patient involvement and unknown adverse event.
