Owing to the rising interest in patient safety and risk mitigations the FDA the international standards community and the medical device industry are taking actions to reduce the likelihood of tubing misconnections.
FDA Activities Medical Device Connectors. Through collaborations with industry the standards community patients and other stakeholders the FDA continues to promote the development of connectors that reduce the risk of device misconnections.
ISO 18250 series into medical devices medical systems or accessories even if currently not required by the relevant particular medical device standards. It is expected that when the relevant particular medical device standards are revised requirements for reservoir connectors as specified in the series of standards will be included.

Sep 20 2018 Annually assess the potential for tubing misconnections with medical devices connectors and tubing used in your facility. To accomplish this one hospital told us that they collect all the different types of tubing supplies connectors and devices used in the facility and ask staff e.g. nurses respiratory therapists radiology technicians
Dec 11 2016 Because the connector is usually the user’s primary interface with the device it plays a key role in overall perception of the design. A well designed connector makes the medical device easy to use and enhances the overall satisfaction with the device. Read the entire white paper. About CPC s Medical Applications
Jun 20 2014 ISO connector standards small bore less than 8.5 mm inner diameter connectors will be engineered to make it nearly impossible to connect one delivery system to another delivery system that serves a completely different function1 2 3 4 5 for example accidentally connecting a feeding administration set

devices neuraxial devices for spinal and epidural injections and intravascular/ hypodermic applications i.e. injections and infusions for which Luer connectors will be retained . The standards define the design of the connectors for these applications so that the risk of misconnections with other connectors in the series is reduced.
NOTE 2 The ISO 18250 series does not apply to screw and crown cork caps and necks as they are not connectors specific for medical devices. Examples of screw caps and necks are defined in DIN 55525 ASTM D2911/D2911M DIN 6063 1 DIN 6063 2 DIN 168 1. Examples of crown cork caps and necks are defined in DIN 6094 ISO 12821 EN 14635.
ENFit is a system of enteral connectors and tube feeding devices designed to improve the outcomes of NICU patients by preventing misconnections. First recommended by The Joint Commission in 2008 ENFit products adhere to ISO standard 80369 3 2016 which stipulates that the design of enteral feeding tube products must be unique and
However several cases of medical device misconnections are being reported around the globe. Hence the Food and Drug Administration FDA is encouraging the development of medical connectors that reduce the risk of device misconnections.
The majority 91 of epidural administrations were combined bolus and infusion pump techniques as shown in Figure 3. Case Reports. There were 15 reports of technical difficulties with the CorrectInject system Figure 4 with 2 occasions of bypassing the system with the replacement of a standard Luer type connector Figure 5 .. Two such cases involved
nected to several devices used for diagnostic therapeutic or monitoring purposes. This multiplicity of connectors can cause clinicians to become confused about each line’s purpose and connection. Such visual clutter added to the stress fatigue and distraction so typical of the clinical environment can make misconnections more likely.
Apr 02 2013 Luer Misconnections continue to result in adverse events and deaths Luer connectors easily link many medical components accessories and delivery systems. Clinicians in any type of provider or supplier setting can mistakenly connect the wrong devices and deliver substances through the wrong route.
medical tubing going into a patient to products or devices not intended for connec tion via that tubing or point of entry into the patient. Today’s complexity of care makes this a very serious issue in need of consideration and prevention strategies. At the simplest level consider a patient receiving both an intravenous solution and an
connectors each for a specific clinical application represents a systems solution to reducing the risk of misconnections. For example an ISO 80369 6 connector designed specifically for neuraxial procedures physically prevents an intravenous line with Luer connectors from being connected to an ISO 80369 6 epidural catheter connector.
tration devices have a female connector that fits around the male connector on the feeding tube reversing the tradi tional orientation. Thus it’s impossible to directly connect for example an ENFit administration device to legacy IV tubing since both connectors are female. ENFit connectors also have a locking feature to provide a more
Apr 10 2006 a well designed device should prevent misconnections and should prompt the user to take the correct action explains joseph author of a guidance article published in the march 2006 issue of ecri s health devices journal. as a first step in prevention joseph urges hospitals to avoid buying non intravenous equipment such as nebulizers nibp
Jan 21 2015 If you haven’t already heard new connectors are being added to all kinds of medical tubing and devices and you can expect to see them on your unit at any time. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization the new connectors will make it virtually impossible to connect one type of delivery system to another system that
Sep 10 2018 Tubing misconnections occur because typical connectors for medical devices have followed a universal design for ease of use. California’s legislation warned that the ubiquitous nature of the design has led to misconnections among unrelated systems including vascular enteral respiratory and epidural devices.
tration devices have a female connector that fits around the male connector on the feeding tube reversing the tradi tional orientation. Thus it’s impossible to directly connect for example an ENFit administration device to legacy IV tubing since both connectors are female. ENFit connectors also have a locking feature to provide a more
Sep 27 2021 Examples of Medical Device Misconnections In order to physically prevent device misconnections from occurring standardized connector designs for specific medical applications are being developed.
Mar 01 2009 For example there are a variety of small bore connectors designed for a wide range of liquid media and gas applications such as blood and bodily fluid–handling and air driven devices. Such connectors not only eliminate the potential for dangerous misconnections with luer fittings but they also feature a more secure latch design with a
