Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported over last several days the team has noticed that the dilators in the custom picc kit have not been passing even with double dilate.When a new single pack separate dilator is added, it slides in like butter.I inspected one yesterday and it did not appear to be cracked, rolled or torn.Most of us rarely double dilate which prompted us to try scrapping the dilator in the kit and adding a new one.They said it at least happened 4 times, and probably 4 more.It was reported this occurred with eight devices.This report addresses all eight devices.
