It was reported that leakage was observed between the cap and hub of an ultrathane mac-loc locking loop multipurpose drainage catheter.The user noted that the suture thread was observed to be sticking out of the locking hub and tube junction.As a result, urine began to "wick" up the thread, leading to leakage.This was unpleasant to the patient and caused further discomfort.This occurred with 8.5fr and 10.2fr drains.This report captures a 10.2fr drain where the suture thread was observed to be sticking out of the hub and tube junction but did not make contact with a patient.Other instances of this malfunction are captured in reports with patient identifier: (b)(6) and (b)(6).Additional information regarding event details has been requested but is currently unavailable.
