A clave® connector reportedly leaked an unspecified fluid around the screw in piece of the connection/thread.They have 2 boxes of the said lot number that were affected, for which they have pulled the supply.Apparently, in ordering more clave connectors, they were still receiving some quantity/amount from the same lot number and encountered again that an iv site/hub was leaking on a patient as well.No one was harmed as a result of event.The set up was their normal insertion to the iv hub.The clave connector was replaced.No hole, cut, tears or any defect was noted.It was also stated that a mating device was attached and sometimes they observed this at the ct (computed tomography) connector, as the patient was on the ct table.
