BD Optima Infusion Clamps

Interested in hearing if any sites which utilize BD Optima for home infusions, have encountered issues with their Infusion Clamps (N35-0, N40-0).

We’ve encountered situations where the clamp can be placed backwards, which can then force separation between injector and connector, and results in the pump not running correctly. We’ve engaged BD Carefusion on this topic, but would appreciate hearing from other sites if you’ve experienced this challenge as well.

Thank you,

Matt
