Manufacturer Narrative
Evaluation results: one used and decontaminated epidural catheter (part number ca046) assembled to an epidural catheter connector (part number cp1690) was received for investigation without its original packaging visual inspection of the returned catheter revealed that the distal tip was bent approximately 5 mm from the tip.It also revealed what appeared to be a slice through the catheter tubing on one side.This damage was located approximately 6 inches from the proximal (connector) end.Leakage from the damaged area was confirmed when tested with a water filled syringe.While the damage to the catheter was confirmed it could not be determined with any certainty at what point the damage occurred.
 
Event Description
It was reported that the epidural catheter was inserted uneventfully and bolused via the catheter; and subsequently placed on an infusion.When the healthcare provider was called in to provide additional medication, the catheter had developed a "leak" approximately 6 inches from the distal connector, hence not allowing more medication to be given (it was spewing onto her bed).The patient was pushing and the healthcare provider was unable to perform another epidural at that point.No patient injury or further complications were reported in relation to this event.
