A reported incident involved a neutron needle free connector attached to a patient¿s midline.It was reported that during a routine flush normal saline before a laboratory blood draw, the line could not be flushed, and blood could not be aspirated.When the connector was removed, blood immediately backed into the tubing.Upon inspection the rubber center of the clave collapsed into the clave and will not allow forward or backward movement.Clave changed.The event occurred during patient use; however, no patient harm or injury was reported.
