As reported by the user facility: reports the sets have a wider lumen, flow too fast, develop too many bubbles, and the water goes in faster than it can flow out.There was a bladder rupture last week and the doctor eluded that it could have been caused by the tubing.Per follow-up correspondence with the reporting facility, the reporter indicated that the new tubing has a higher flow than what the urology providers are used to.A patient did have a spontaneous bladder rupture, which could have been contributed to many things.The physician said in passing that maybe it was because of the high flow.
