    CUSTOMER COMPLAINT IS REPORTED AS: "A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WE HAD A PATIENT SUFFER AN AIR EMBOLISM JUST AFTER STANDING UP WITH A RENAL REPLACEMENT CIRCUIT CONNECTED TO A 20CM ARROWGARD LINE. AIR WAS SEEN TO BE BEING DRAGGED FROM THE PATIENT ROUND THE CIRCUIT. THE LINE WAS POSITIONED VERY CLOSE TO A VYGON CENTRAL LINE. THE INSERTION SITE WAS NECK. BOTH WERE REMOVED & EXAMINED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF AIR LEAK WHEN THEY WERE INJECTED WITH AIR AFTER BEING SUBMERSED IN WATER AND NO EVIDENCE OF A LEAK WHEN FLUSHED WITH SALINE. THE EASIEST EXPLANATION IS PERHAPS THAT THE LINE WAS MOVED DURING MOBILISATION BUT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE SAY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN. THE PATIENT DID HAVE A BRIEF PERIOD OF DETERIORATION BUT RECOVERED QUITE QUICKLY WITH NO ILL EFFECTS AND HAS BEEN DISCHARGED FROM ICU".
