Event Description

It was reported that bd nexiva diffusics 20g x 1.25 in incomplete flush.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: it was reported by the customer that after troubleshooting issues as much as possible, we decided to take a look at one of the catheters, which is the one in the video and the one i will be sending in for investigation.While hand flushing at 5 ml/sec (2 second flush), 2 of the 3 teardrop-shaped holes were blocked and not allowing saline to exit.I believe this lot of catheters was experiencing pressure limits because of this.Verbatim: several 20g diffusics catheters have been pressuring out at the end of the ct scans.This department has been using 20g diffusics for many years without issue.No other changes to injection pumps, tubing, needless connectors, etc.Scanners are set to 300 psi and ctas flow rates are set to 5 ml/sec.4-5 instances happened within a few days, all with different inserters.Some started in ed, some started in ct by the radiology techs.After troubleshooting issues as much as possible, we decided to take a look at one of the catheters, which is the one in the video and the one i will be sending in for investigation.While hand flushing at 5 ml/sec (2 second flush), 2 of the 3 teardrop-shaped holes were blocked and not allowing saline to exit.I believe this lot of catheters was experiencing pressure limits because of this.
