Event or Problem Description
Information was received from a healthcare provider (hcp) via a company representative (rep) regarding a patient receiving intrathecal hydromorphone 25 mg/ml at 2.796 mg/day via an implanted pump for an unknown indication for use.It was reported that the connector between the pump and tip segment of the catheter would not lock in place.No patient symptoms or disruption in therapy due to this issue.The catheter was never implanted and would be returned.It was noted the physician made multiple attempts to secure the catheter pieces together.Ultimately the physician did not feel as if it would lock in place, and requested a catheter from a different lot be used.A different catheter was used to complete the case without incident.The issue was resolved at the time of this report.The cause was completed without injury to the patient.Once the physician determined the catheter referred to in this report to be inadequate, a different catheter was used with no issue.
