    THE INVESTIGATION IS AN EVALUATION OF RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT INCLUDED A POSITIONING WINDOW PICTURE OF THE EDI CATHETER, X-RAY PICTURES AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PER REQUESTS. THE POSITIONING WINDOW PICTURE SHOWS THAT THE EDI CATHETER WAS HIGH UP WHICH MOST PROBABLY CORRESPONDS TO THE SAID INSERTION LENGTH OF 14 CM AND IT WAS INCORRECT. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION FROM THE HOSPITAL IT WAS NOTICED ON THE EDI SIGNAL WAS NOT WELL BUT ACCORDING TO THE HOSPITAL THE POSITIONING WAS WELL. THE EDI CATHETER WAS NOT REMOVED BUT IT WAS PULLED OUT AND REINSERTED FROM THE ORIGINAL 14 CM TO A FINAL LENGTH OF 16 CM. JUDGING BY THE XRAY PICTURES THIS WAS NOT DONE AT ONCE BECAUSE A PICTURE WAS TAKEN AT THE 15 CM LENGTH WHICH SUGGESTS THAT THE ADJUSTMENT TO THE 16 CM LENGTH WAS DONE AFTERWARDS BUT NO X RAY PICTURE AT 16 CM WAS PROVIDED. THE CONCLUSION IN THE MATTER WAS THAT THERE WAS NO EDI CATHETER MALFUNCTION AT ANY TIME BUT A USABILITY ISSUE WHERE THE CORRECT POSITION OF THE EDI CATHETER WAS NOT VERIFIED AT THE START AS RECOMMENDED. THE AFTER ADJUSTMENTS/MOVEMENTS OF THE EDI CATHETER TO ATTAIN GOOD NAVA RESULTED IN THE REPORTED PERFORATION. THE PERFORATION MOST LIKELY OCCURRED DURING THE REINSERTION/ADJUSTMENT/SLIDING OF THE EDI CATHETER TO THE SAID 16 CM OR BEYOND CAUSED BY THE INITIAL INCORRECT LENGTH WHICH WAS TOO HIGH UP THAT PROMPTED PUSHING DOWN TO A LENGTH OF A LEAST 2 CM CAUSED BY THE INITIAL INCORRECT POSITIONING OF THE EDI CATHETER. LENGTH ADJUSTMENT WOULD NORMALLY NOT DIFFER AS MUCH AS 2 CM IN A SINGLE DIRECTION FROM A CALCULATED INSERTION LENGTH AND ONCE THE CORRECT POSITION IS DETERMINED THE EDI CATHETER SHOULD BE SECURED PROPERLY.
