During a procedure, a disposable heated high-flow tube set (ref# (b)(4)) was used which showed a kinking right after the interface for connection to the insufflator.Afterwards, a sales representative checked the facility´s inventory of packaged tube sets and found other tube sets also showed this kinking.It was reported that 4 packaged tube sets were kinked in such a way that the prongs of the connection interface now face outward towards the packaging and have led to punctures of the pouch packaging, thus leading to impairment of the sterile barrier.
