Event Description
|
According to the reporter, during the procedure, on the sampling portion of the procedure with a biopsy needle, there was a notification that the catheter was not detected and/or is outside the sensing volume.Attempts were made to connect/re-connect the plugs but nothing was able to correct the error.After the error, the catheter was inspected and could not visualize any damage.Direction was given to be careful during sampling to not pull the needle but into the catheter during agitation as it was believed that the physician had punctured the tip of the catheter.Grabbed another catheter then started the procedure again, however, during the sampling phase, the same error messages were experienced.Swapped all cables but were not able to resolve the issue.Finally, grabbed a 90-degree catheter to resolve the issue.The physician was able to complete the electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (enb) portion of the case.There was no patient injury.
