LITTLE SUCKER® AND COVER

Description of Event or Problem

AFTER CHANGING OUT PATIENT'S LITTLE SUCKER, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN AUDIBLE SUCTION LEAK AS WELL AS DECREASED PRESSURE WITHIN MY BALLARD SUCTION (EFFECTED BY THE LEAK). I GRABBED ANOTHER LITTLE SUCKER AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I THEN LOOKED FOR A LITTLE SUCKER WITH A DIFFERENT LOT NUMBER AND THIS TIME THERE WAS NO LEAK. AFTER EXPERIMENTING WITH THE BLUE COVERS, IT APPEARS THAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE LITTLE SUCKER ITSELF.
