Event or Problem Description

The customer reported that there was an issue with one of the nasogastric (ng) tubes that was in use on a patient.After being put into use it was found to be cracked and led to complications.The staff believes that the patient may have just bit/chewed at some point.None of the other units checked had any issues.Additional information was received and stated that a crack (a small slit) was found in the tube approximately at the measurement of 65 and there was no detachment observed.They were not sure if the tube was cracked due to patient bit/chewed the tube.Due to the crack, slow trickle of leaking of the tube feeding was observed into the mouth.Thus, suctioning out of the mouth secretions that lead to stopping the tube feeding due to what was perceived to be intolerance.The tube was removed and replaced with another tube.Per medical staff, they were unable to assess the details of medical intervention/treatment provided to the patient involved.
