The parent of pt with autoimmune enteropathy stated that within 1 hour of starting an infusion of tpn solution using this set, the pt reacted with a red raised rash covering the entire body relieved by administration of 7.
5mg of benadryl iv push.
The parent feels the pt is reacting to something inherent to the set, due to the fact that the pt is able to use a different brand of administration set without a reaction.
The home health agency for the pt reports that if the complaint set is used with only d10%w, the pt does not react, but when used with tpn, with or without lipid, the pt reacts with hives.
While the pt was hospitalized, several attempts were made to use the complaint set, but the pt reacted each time the set was used with tpn, with or without lipids.
No additional info is available.

There is one known difference between the baxter set and the set of a different brand: the baxter set is eto sterilized, the other is gamma sterilized.
The set was not tested for eto residual since there will always be trace amount of this gas present.
The 6060 sets have a release criterion of <2mg residual eto before release.
Upon completion of a batch review, should any aberrancies be shown, a follow up report will be submitted.
