During a cerebral angiogram.Catheter was placed within the appropriate portion of anatomy and physician attempted to do a hand contrast injection via the side port of the sheath.The syringe was connected and as he began to hand inject the 10 ml syringe broke at the plunger portion as well as the portion of the luer-lok, the tip within the luer-lok portion also broke off into our rotating hemostatic valve.No injuries luckily but we had to stop and use a different line - to continue with the case.The same exact scenario occurred on (b)(6) 2019.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
