Event Description
|
As reported by the user facility: event 2: it was reported that the seal of the catheter is defective.We had to place iv's several times on several different patients and they were leaking all over the pt.We thought it was the transfer device for blood at first because we could not get suction to draw the bloods.Then we tried putting the extension tube to the catheter and it was leaking all over.We tried all the different lot number of the 20g and this particular lot number was the only defective ones.No injury reported.
