  CUSTOMER REPORTS: UPON ATTEMPTED REMOVAL OF THE GUIDEWIRE, THE TUBING BEGAN TO KINK AND THE GUIDEWIRE WAS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED. ANOTHER NASOGASTRIC TUBE HAD TO BE INSERTED. THE PATIENT WAS NOT HARMED BUT HAD TO HAVE THIS UNCOMFORTABLE PROCEDURE DONE TWICE AS A RESULT. THIS HAPPENED WITH THE SAME PATIENT, BUT IT WAS 2 DIFFERENT DAYS. THE PATIENT WAS CONFUSED A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND REMOVED HIS TUBE, SO ANOTHER NEEDED TO BE INSERTED. THE DOCTOR HAD DIFFICULTY REMOVING THE STYLET AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND SALINE FLUSHING HE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO REMOVE IT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE LOT WAS THE SAME FOR BOTH OF THESE TUBES.
