A clinical specialist reported on behalf of the customer that a nurse accidentally instilled antibiotics into the patient's ventricular catheter - accessing it by connecting the intravenous (iv) tubing to the cerebrospinal fluid (csf) access port of the accudrain (sp0214 ins8400 with one foot of proximal patient line) on an unspecified date.The patient did not die due to the event but acquired irreversible brain damage.The patient required emergency intervention.The nurse admitted that she was adamant and realized that it was not a manufacturing problem but had to put a "safety plan" in place.The nurse wanted to know other external ventricular drain (evd) options.The sales representative discussed the specials for accudrain specifically the one that has the csf access port removed.Additional information has been requested.
