Event Description
|
The international customer reported that, after a successful insertion of the cook spectrum minocycline/rifampin impregnated double lumen central venous catheter into the right internal jugular vein of the patient over the guidewire, the guidewire began to kink and bend when the operator attempted to remove it from the rest of the assembly, per procedure.When the usage of the device failed, the operator removed and replaced the line with a teleflex arrow central venous catheter set.The difficulties with catheter sets reportedly occur usually in difficult cases, but have been also occurred regardless of procedure difficulty and the skill of the operator.The device has been received for evaluation; however, as of the date of this report, the investigation is pending.The specific circumstances surrounding the usage and handling of the device are not known.
