It was reported that the cassette, inspected before use (empty), once filled with solvent and chemotherapy, there was a blue-black particle at the level of the bag.A new cassette was then prepared after verifying the absence of any particle.A second cassette, belonging to the same lot, also presented a visible particle at the level of the bag.It was not possible to determine whether these particles were inside the bag or located outside of it, between the flexible bag and the rigid structure of the cassette.The two cassettes were not brought into contact with chemotherapy due to the prior detection of the particle.Issue occurred at the time of preparing chemotherapy in our preparation unit.Cassette discarded and new cassette used for preparation.There was no patient involvement.
