Summary of event or problem: the customer reported that during withdrawal of chemo drug from the vial, a leakage occurred at the junction of the smartsite valve and the body of the device (green part where the /smartsite is glued).This issue occurred ten times in the same day, it occurred also with folic acid (levofolene).Note: yukon medical was originally made aware of this reported problem on (b)(4) 2016.It was originally assessed as an eu (european union) trend report only, but was later reassigned as an eu reportable event.A (b)(6) was submitted to the competent authority on 7mar2017.Yukon was unaware at the time that all eu events were required to be reported to the fda.As a result of an fda inspection completed at our site on 6apr2018, it was communicated by the investigator that eu events need to also be reported in the us if the device is marketed in the us.Therefore, yukon medical is reporting the event at this time.This is one of two events that is being reported.
