It was initially reported on (b)(6) 2017 that the tube appeared to be damaged.No further information was provided.This was originally deemed a not reportable event according to halyard health guidelines.However, the sample was received and sample evaluation was completed on (b)(6) 2018.The sample evaluation confirmed cross-lumen communication.When feeding through the jejunal port, the water exits the gastric skives.Additional information received on (b)(6) 2018 stated that the tube seemed to have melted.The user noticed diazepam in the free drainage bag only because the medication is a pink color.No patient injury occurred.
