Investigation: two photos were provided to our quality team for investigation.The photos show a vented iv line being used during the infusion and bubbles are visible in the tubing and infusion bag.As the lot involved in this incident is unknown, a device history review could not be performed.Per the instructions for use included with the product, phaseal c100 should not be used with vented iv tubing or an open vent as this could create a negative pressure which can add air the infusion bag leading to the air bubbles seen in the line, as well as the potential for exposure to hazardous medications.It is important to follow the instructions for use when using phaseal devices to ensure the product functions as intended.Based on the results of our investigation, our manufacturing process did not contribute to the reported malfunction.
