MHRA alert MDA/2007/089

The MHRA have recently published an alert to warn practitioners of the risk of back tracking when more than one IV line is connected through a single access point. I would hope when practitioners setup the IV plumbing they always consider the risk of backtracking and put actions/devices in place that will prevent this problem. View the document here.
