Event Description
|
Our institution transitioned to the bd insyte autoguard iv catheters and are having the following issues/concerns: catheter bends when trying to break the skin (using technique given by rep).Catheter hub spins when trying to advance catheter so you lose the only piece to advance catheter.Catheter hubs are excessively long making it difficult to place foam appropriately to protect skin, most times catheter is lost or dislodged.Multiple blown veins due to catheter placement struggles.More sticks than normal due catheter issues- greatly impacting patient care and satisfaction.More iv infiltrates/ extravasations during ct scan injections.Some units have already had the bd rep back to the unit for troubleshooting technique and unfortunately this has been ineffective at this time.
