  A URESIL DRAINAGE CATHETER WAS PLACED IN THE PATIENT AS A CHEST DRAINAGE TUBE ON (B)(6) 2019. THE NEXT DAY ((B)(6) 2019), A LEAK WAS DETECTED AND THE CATHETER WAS FOUND TO BE BLOCKED. THE CATHETER WAS FLUSHED WITH SALINE AND HUB LEAKAGE WAS AGAIN NOTED. EVEN THOUGH THE HOSPITAL WAS AWARE OF THIS LEAK, THE CATHETER WAS NOT REPLACED UNTIL 2 DAYS LATER - (B)(6) 2019. THE HOSPITAL ALSO STATED THAT THEY INTENTIONALLY "OVER-TIGHTEN" THESE TYPES OF CATHETER CONNECTIONS, AND MOST LIKELY USED A METAL INSTRUMENT TO OVER-TIGHTEN THE CONNECTION. THE HOSPITAL RECOGNIZES THAT THE LEAKING CATHETER SITUATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED SOONER, AND IT IS URESIL'S UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY INTEND TO CHANGE THEIR INTERNAL PROCEDURES REGARDING TIMELY ADDRESSING OF NOTED ISSUES LIKE LEAKING DEVICES AND TO NOT USE METAL INSTRUMENTS TO TIGHTEN CONNECTIONS.
