Espocan combined spinal and epidural anesthesia tray was missing the 25 ga.X 1-1/2 inch needle.The doctor was in the process of placing and epidural on a labor and delivery patient when he noticed the needle was not in the cse tray and thus had to open a new tray.Most recently it has been noted that subsequent trays have similar issues with either catheters (x2) missing or other spinal needles missing for a total of 4 trays missing components over past few months.Same brand, similar lots, similar reference numbers and expiration dates.
