    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT "SPECIFICALLY, THE PROBLEM IS THAT OTHER TUBING FROM THE CONTRAST AGENT INJECTORS DOESN'T CONNECT WELL TO THIS BATCH OF TUBING BECAUSE THE CONNECTIONS ARE POOR. THIS HAS REPEATEDLY LED TO THE CONTRAST AGENT SQUIRTING OUT OF THE TUBING AT THE CONNECTION POINT AT HIGHER PRESSURES (> 2 ML/SECOND) (BOTH IN MRI AND CT SCANS). THIS NOT ONLY CREATES A MESS BUT ALSO DEGRADES IMAGE QUALITY. A COLLEAGUE REPORTED TO ME TODAY THAT DURING AN EXAMINATION, AIR EVEN ENTERED THE TUBING AND WAS INJECTED INTO THE PATIENT'S VEIN IN A SMALL AMOUNT. THE INJECTOR TUBING HAD BEEN PROPERLY VENTED." SHORT DESCRIPTION LEAKING WHEN DID THE INCIDENT OCCUR? DURING USE MESSAGE FROM THE SWISS PHARMACY DEAR SIR OR MADAM WE HAVE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM A CUSTOMER REGARDING YOUR DEVICE. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A CONNECTION OR SEALING PROBLEM WITH THE BD CONNECTA TUBES OF LOT 5213789 (EXP 31/07/2028). THE CUSTOMER CONCERNED HAS ALREADY BEEN ASKED TO RETURN THE GOODS IN QUESTION TO US FOR INSPECTION. WE WILL BE HAPPY TO FORWARD THE AFFECTED DEVICES TO YOU FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS. ACCORDING TO THE EMAIL MESSAGE BELOW, TWO INSTITUTES ARE AFFECTED AND PROBLEMS HAVE ARISEN SEVERAL TIMES IN RECENT WEEKS. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR US, AS WE CURRENTLY HAVE THIS LOT IN STOCK AND HAVE ALREADY SUPPLIED SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WITH IT. NOTIFICATION OF THE SWISS END CUSTOMER TO THE PHARMACY AS I HAVE JUST DISCUSSED WITH YOU BY TELEPHONE, I AM SENDING YOU A PICTURE OF THE AFFECTED TUBES WITH A THREE-WAY STOPCOCK. THE PROBLEM HAS ALREADY EXISTED FOR 2 TO 3 WEEKS IN INDIVIDUAL TESTS AT (B)(6). SPECIFICALLY, IT IS THE CASE THAT OTHER TUBES FROM THE CONTRAST MEDIUM INJECTORS ARE DIFFICULT TO CONNECT TO THIS LOT OF TUBES AS THEY DO NOT HOLD TOGETHER WELL. THIS HAS REPEATEDLY LED TO THE CONTRAST MEDIUM SQUIRTING OUT OF THE TUBE AT THE CONNECTION POINT AT HIGHER PRESSURES (> 2ML/SECOND) (BOTH IN MR AND CT). THIS NOT ONLY CREATES A ¿MESS¿ BUT ALSO AFFECTS THE IMAGE QUALITY. A COLLEAGUE TOLD ME TODAY THAT AIR EVEN ENTERED THROUGH THE TUBE DURING AN EXAMINATION AND WAS THUS INJECTED INTO THE PATIENT'S VEIN IN SMALL QUANTITIES. THE INJECTOR TUBE HAD BEEN PROPERLY VENTED. A PHARMACY IN SWITZERLAND HAS SENT US A COMPLAINT ABOUT BD CONNECTA 3-WAY STOPCOCKS WITH EXTENSION TUBE 25CM OF LOT 5213789 (EXP 31/07/2028). SEE BELOW FOR THE WORDING OF THE MESSAGES. PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW WE SHOULD PROCEED.
