    IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE NURSE WAS USING 8 FRENCH PEDIATRIC CATHETER KIT ON A 10 MONTH OLD BABY IN ORDER TO RULE OUT URINARY TRACT INFECTION. STERILE CONTAINER FELL OFF CATHETER ON ITS OWN DURING PROCEDURE. ALSO, LUBE WAS NEEDED SCISSORS TO BE OPENED BECAUSE THE PERFORATIONS ON LUBE WOULD NOT LET IT OPEN. THIS CAUSED URINE TO NOT TO BE COLLECTED AND INTERVENTION WAS NEEDED. THIS CAUSED A URINE BAG TO BE PLACED, BUT IF THE URINE COLLECTED FROM BAG HAS AN ABNORMAL DIPSTICK RESULT, ANOTHER CATHETER WOULD BE NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. ANOTHER CATHETER KIT WITH THE SAME LOT NUMBER WAS OPENED AND HAD THE SAME MALFUNCTIONS AS THE KIT USED ON THE PATIENT.
