The customer reported that, during a central line insertion procedure in which the spectrum minocycline/rifampin impregnated double lumen central venous catheter was employed, the wire got hung up on the needle.This reportedly caused the wire guide to kink and unravel.A smaller wire guide was ultimately used to complete the procedure, and the customer confirmed that the product malfunction did not necessitate any additional procedures or result in any patient adverse events.The device has reportedly been disposed of and is unavailable for return and evaluation.
