CUSTOMER REPORTS: AFTER INSERTING A 10FR TROCAR CHEST TUBE INTO THE INFANT'S CHEST, C. LOUGHRAN WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE STYLET/GUIDEWIRE PORTION FROM THE CHEST TUBE. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO REMOVE THE TUBE BUT IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. THE CHEST TUBE HAD TO BE REMOVED AND A NEW CHEST TUBE WAS INSERTED. INTERVENTION WAS REQUIRED FOR PLACEMENT OF THE NEW CHEST DUE TO THE EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OF THE ORIGINAL ONE.
