Create new NTE when .br is encountered

Our lab system is occassionally sending out NTEs with .br imbedded in the text instead of creating a new NTE.  In other words, we sometimes get this:

NTE|1|CD:60|Sufficiency = 30-100 ng/ml (75-250 nmol/L).brPossible Toxicity = Greater than 100 ng/ml (> 250 nmol/L).br\.brA pediatric reference range has not been established by .brthe National Osteoporosis Foundation.        

instead of this:

NTE|1|CD:60|Sufficiency = 30-100 ng/ml (75-250 nmol/L) NTE|1|CD:60|Possible Toxicity = Greater than 100 ng/ml (> 250 nmol/L) NTE|1|CD:60|

NTE|1|CD:60|A pediatric reference range has not been established by

NTE|1|CD:60|the National Osteoporosis Foundation.

I could swear I’ve seen a post that talks about this (creating a new NTE when .br is encountered) but I can’t find it now.  Whether it exists or not, does anyone have a tcl script or something to deal with this?
