Event or Problem Description
|
|
Medtronic received information regarding an external drainage and monitoring system.It was reported that the patient required continuous lumbar cistern drainage to clear cerebrospinal fluid and prevent hydrocephalus due to intraventricular hemorrhage.Therefore, on (b)(6) 2025, a lumbar cistern drainage procedure was performed under local anesthesia.During the puncture, it was found that there was no guidewire inside the drainage tube, and no external drainage bottle was attached.As a result, it was not possible to monitor the patient's intracranial pressure or control the cerebrospinal fluid drip rate.This resulted in poor drainage from the lumbar cistern, which was not detected in time and ultimately led to catheter blockage.A new device was used instead.
