Event or Problem Description
According to the reporter, prior to operation, when they tested the catheter, it can be flushed with normal saline but it was occluded.By occluded, they meant the guide wire could not be inserted through catheter vein side.They inserted the guide wire from the tip first but it was obstructed then they inserted it again from cap side and it was still obstructed.There was also a little bit harder to push them before they got obstructed.The customer did not try to reverse the lines in flushing, she flushed from the cap side only.The guide wire was new and in good condition.The guide wire not frayed, coiled, unraveled.The guide wire used was the one included in the kit.The dimension of the catheter and the guide wire matched what was indicated on the label.No other defects/damages found on the product as it was in good condition.The catheter was not repaired.There was no leak.70% isopropyl alcohol was the cleaning used on the device.Tego was not utilized.There was no luer adapter issue.The doctor changed the product with new/replacement catheter set (same lot) for her patient on the same date as the event date and the procedure was completed.There was no reported patient injury.
