Event or Problem Description

|
The user reported experiencing iv set leaking issue."we have had complaints about fluid leaking out of the filter casing of the 0.2 micron filter tubing (ref: (b)(4)).One time the filter casing cracked open on the side and fluid squirted across the patient's bed and hit the wall.We just finished dispensing tubing from lot 17017533 and switched to a new lot number.I will have to call the nurse to confirm about patient injury.Based on what she told me, there may have been some drug loss, but she mentioned no physical injury.And it happened to several patients because she said other nurses had complained about the same issue.It sounds like it has been happening over several days on several patients.We were alerted of the issue (b)(6) 2017 because they had used up their tubing supply and needed us to send more.By affected iv set, do you want one of the leaking ones or simply one from that lot number that we had been using? for the one patient i have a name for, he was on cefepime.I will call the facility shortly and remind them about the slide clamp being a possible source of the problem.The nurse mentioned that they have had occlusion alerts when they use the same tubing to hang the second ivpb dose of the day." no patient injury or harm occurred for this case.
