It was reported that a td torque-line catheter, 7f, 4 lumen, 110 cm was found to provide inaccurate readings during patient use.The reporter stated that using the new icu medical thermodilution catheters during a procedure, was unable to obtain accurate waveform despite troubleshooting (i.E.New transducer and changing channel cables).It was also stated that "attempted to use another pressure cable, but still unreliable waveforms noted.Replaced transducer cable off the manifold, but still obtained inaccurate waveform readings.The physician was not able to complete the procedure and is questioning the results.The reporter stated, "to my knowledge, the reading wasn¿t corresponding to the patient's clinical status at the time of use.The patient was not affected during the use of the product.".
