Event Type  Injury  

Event Description

In the customers words: "thank you for returning my call earlier with regards to the above.As i mentioned this would be the second time this type of incident has happened on my watch within the last 2/3 years.The incidents are identical in that the spacer was left inside the vagina of both patients after the manipulator had been removed.The assumption is that the spacer is clicked into place but may dislodge with movement whilst being used therefore potentially left behind.Both patient had to go to a&e to have the foreign body removed.Unfortunately i do not have any lot numbers for any of the products as this is only noticed a few days after the procedure therefore product will already have been thrown away.The 1st i encountered this was at (b)(6) hospital and the product was either the um700 or um900.This time i am working at (b)(6) hospital and the product used was um900 as we only order the one product.Since we had this incident i would like to request some training for my staff as evidence for the patient that something has been done to prevent this from happening someone else.".
