    COLLECTIVELY OVER THE PAST WEEK OR SO WE'VE HAD 10 INFUSION SETS AT ISSUE (SEE DESCRIPTIONS BELOW). THERE WAS NO PATIENT HARM SO THERE IS NO PATIENT INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT. ALL BUT ITEM 1 WERE ISSUES WITH NON-PRIMING CAPABILITIES; 3 OF WHICH WERE FROM EMERGENCY ROOM AND SIX WERE FROM PEDIATRICS/L&D. SINCE THE REFERENCE NUMBERS AND ID NUMBERS WERE IDENTICAL ON THE SAVED DEVICES THE CONSENSUS WAS TO GET THE FDA NOTIFIED OF THE TREND. 1. PUMP TUBING BROKE WHILE IN EMERGENCY PATIENT WAS IN CT. THE BLUE PIECE SNAPPED RIGHT AT THE END OF THE INFUSION. THE TUBING WAS NOT BEING PULLED ON IN ANY WAY; WE WERE IN THE CONTROL ROOM AND THE PUMP SAID INFUSION COMPLETE AND THEN SECONDS LATER THE TUBING SNAPPED LOOSE FROM THE TOP OF PUMP AND SHOT UP IN AIR AND DUMPED THE LAST LITTLE BIT OF ABX ONTO THE BED. 2, 3, & 4. MANY PUMP TUBINGS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM HAVE PROBLEMS WITH INITIAL PRIMING OF LINE. FREE FLOW DOES NOT OCCUR UNTIL SOME PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO CAUSE THE BACKFLOW VALVE TO "POP" OPEN INTERNALLY. 5 & 6 FROM L&D AND 7-10 PEDIATRICS WITH THE SIMILAR ISSUE: IV TUBING WOULD NOT PRIME AND PUMP WAS UNABLE TO INFUSE IV FLUIDS. PUMP TUBING CHANGED 3 TIMES AND PUMP CHANNEL CHANGED TWICE.N
