Event or Problem Description

|
The patient received another model of urinary catheter than he was prescribed (patient received a 40 cm catheter size 12fr coude tip, instead of the prescribed 40 cm catheter size 16fr straight tip), due to a mistake when the products were delivered from the warehouse.The labelling information for the delivered products was correct.The patient noticed that the package was different, but used the delivered products anyway and experienced a bleeding during the urinary catheterization procedure.The day after, the patient had an already scheduled appointment at the doctor, and at that time there was no bleeding.The next day the bleeding resumed, and the patient revisited the doctor.The patient received a foley catheter to have in place for at least two weeks.No other medical complications are reported, no hospitalization was needed.The patient takes anticoagulant treatment.The overall condition for the patient was well.
