Fresenius Kabi bags - spike falls out

Hi all,

We recently have had a spattering of reports that the spike is falling out of Fresenius Kabi heparin 25000 unit/250 mL bags. This has occurred in patient repositioning and just during transport. I was able to easily replicate this in my office.

Has anyone else experienced this issue, or have any mitigation strategies?

Thank you,

Kara Thornton
