Symptom narrative

No additional adverse events were reported; The vaccine began leaking out between the syringe and the luer lock; the needle was in the patient's arm; This spontaneous report was received from a Registered Nurse (RN) and refers to a 4-year-old patient of unknown gender. The patient's medical history was not reported. The patient's concurrent conditions were not reported. Concomitant therapies were not reported. On 21-FEB-2025, the patient was vaccinated with Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella (Oka-Merck) Virus Vaccine Live (PROQUAD), (lot #Y015356, expiration date: 10-MAR-2026) for prophylaxis (dose, route and site of administration were not reported) using a sterile diluent (BAXTER Sterile Diluent), (lot #2031275, expiration date: 15-Dec-2026). The RN said the syringe contained reconstituted Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella (Oka-Merck) Virus Vaccine Live (PROQUAD) and was being administered to patient and the needle was in the patient's arm (poor quality device used), but then the vaccine began leaking out between the syringe and the luer lock (device leakage). The RN said she believed that when the needle was attached to prefilled syringes of sterile diluent (BAXTER Sterile Diluent ) that it created a suction and made it where the luer lock loosens. No additional adverse events were reported (no adverse event).; Sender's Comments: Priority : 5 , Is case serious : No , MNSC number : 02757689-02757684 , CLIC number : , ESTAR number : , IRMS number : 500UW00000UKnBWYA1|10032025120014|1860 , Central date : 2025-03-10 , Classification : DMC, Attachment description : NSC Call , Safety case number : 2258717 , MNSC case number : 02757689 , MNSC interaction number : 02757684 , Integration log UniqueID : 500UW00000UKnBWYA1|10032025120014|1860 , Service cloud CaseID : 500UW00000UKnBWYA1
