ECRI has released its Top 10 Health Technology Hazards for 2026, highlighting key risks that continue to impact patient safety across healthcare settings.

Hazard #5 focuses on tubing misconnections, noting that these events remain a serious threat amid slow adoption of ENFit and NRFit connectors. Continued use of non–application-specific connectors increases the risk of wrong-route errors that can result in significant patient harm.

Accelerating the transition to ENFit and NRFit is a critical step in reducing misconnection risks and advancing patient safety.
