During placement, the peg tube kit had a trochar in it that was defective, the tip was blunt.Another peg kit was opened and the trochar in that kit was also defective.There were also issues with the snares in both kits.The tips of the snares were bent/kinked so provider was unable to put the snare into the scope.Another peg tube kit, a push, was opened so the trochar and snare could be used for the procedure.When the gi tech was obtaining another peg tube kit, nurse was trying to assist provider with the snare, it was during this time that needle placement was lost.The provider was able to use a new trochar from the push kit.The procedure was completed, and an abdominal binder put on patient to protect the peg.Patient was doing well and returned to his room.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
