Prior to contacting the manufacturer on (b)(6) 2021, (b)(6) used nitrospray plus lite to treat a patient.Per the email notification from the associate clinical director: "we use different bore needles (spray tips) to use for cryotherapy & have experienced 4 separate incidences of chemical burns (blistering) after treatment".The physician is trying to understand why this has happened over the past month.She questioned the spray tip sizes & had contacted their gas provider as well.The burns were not serious, one was deeper than the others.She has been advised to send the three units in for evaluation along with spray tips that have been used.This report is for patient 1 out of 3.
