Event Description
|
It was reported that the statlock seemed to be bent and was very difficult to open.The patient was admitted into the intensive therapy unit for accident and emergency, but the patient complained of pain in their penis due to a catheter.Upon inspection, the customer realized that the lubrisil catheter had not been placed correctly into the statlock ( it was placed too high up the catheter and not at the site of the port to inflate the balloon).When the customer attempted to open the statlock to reposition the catheter, after several attempts it was difficult to operate the locking mechanism correctly.So the customer decided to remove the statlock with apeel medical adhesive remover and to secure the catheter with a new statlock.Upon removal, the customer noted that the clip of the original statlock was bent and the user considered that might have caused difficulty in opening it.It was unknown what medical intervention was provided for the pain.
