It was reported that a peritoneal dialysis (pd) patient had a fluid leak between their stay safe catheter extension set and their pd catheter during training.Upon follow-up, the peritoneal dialysis registered nurse (pdrn) stated that the patient prescribed prophylactic antibiotics (vancomycin, 2 g, single dose, ip and gentamicin, 2 g, ip, single dose).The pdrn confirmed that despite the prophylactic antibiotics, there were no symptoms, adverse events, or injuries requiring medical intervention required as a result of the reported event.The extension set is not available to be returned to the manufacturer for evaluation because it was discarded.
