It was reported by facility staff "our dialysis centre informs us that during a dressing change of the dialysis catheter it was noticed that the statlock picc plus was no longer intact.As the statlock is applied as an additional safety measure to keep the dialysis catheter in place, this safety measure was not applicable here.When the dressing was removed, the plastic holder was no longer attached to the adhesive patch that adheres to the patient's skin.After care of the dialysis catheter, a new statlock was applied, but even with this (and the 3rd attempt) it was found that the plastic holder detaches very easily from the adhesive patch to which it is attached." this report addresses the second of three devices.
