Reported risk: These conditions may occur when liquid is present on the male or female parts of the luer connector before connection (for example, use of disinfectant or drops of priming or dialysate solution) and the wet connector is screwed by using the body of the luer connectors for tightening instead of screwing the coupling nut. Under these circumstances, the fluid on the cone can act as a lubricant and might lead to an over-tightening of the connection. The resulting luer connection may be difficult to disconnect and the male luer lock may break when applying a high mechanical force.
