040911 - would notify Bard management to follow up on company protocol to
040912 - investigate for product defects, which Steve presented during a call
040913 - the day before on 080804, ref SDS 8 4R40, and which was confirmed in a

040934 -    2.  Dear Steve,
040936 -         ..
040937 -    3.  Rod called this morning to notify Bard that I will have a CT
040938 -        test at Kaiser in Oakland next Thursday, 080911 1330, per my
040939 -        letter to Kaiser on 080903. ref SDS 10 BK5N
040941 -         ..
040942 -    4.  First, thanks again for your support and to Julie for helping
040943 -        Kaiser find a business unit with experience doing CT tests with
040944 -        the Bard Power Port.
040946 -         ..
040947 -    5.  As you know, on 080718 Kaiser in Walnut Creek tried
040948 -        unsuccessfully to do a CT test with the Bard Power port.
040949 -        ref SDS 5 LK3R
040951 -         ..
040952 -    6.  Bard was notified of this problem with respect to concerns
040953 -        about product defect, as shown in my letter to you on 080804.
040954 -        ref SDS 8 4S62
040956 -         ..
040957 -    7.  I assume that Bard's silence establishes that Bard has reviewed
040958 -        the record on 080718 and is satisfied events as described do
040959 -        not present a risk to me for doing the next CT test on 080911.
040961 -         ..
040962 -    8.  I asked Rod to call this morning to ask if the Angiodynamics
040963 -        Lifeguard Safety Needle which UCSF will use next week on 080911
040964 -        will present concerns for Bard as the Huber needle connection
040965 -        to inject contrast medium, as shown in the record on 080724.
040966 -        ref SDS 6 MV7Y
040968 -         ..
040969 -    9.  I assume this presents an identical connection to the Bard
040970 -        Powerloc Safety Infusion set specified in the Bard product
040971 -        documentation which I received from Kaiser on 080708 when the
040972 -        Power Power was implanted. ref SDS 2 JE7N
040974 -         ..
040975 -   10.  I am only concerned that the Kaiser CT technologist might
040976 -        encounter a different connection mechanics, and cause
040977 -        confusion.  I expect these are standardized, but just double
040978 -        checking.

040980 -           [On 080911 Angela at CT Department with Kaiser in Oakland
040981 -           asked for Millie's Power Port ID card; after learning Millie
040982 -           has the Bard Power Port, she advised that training by Bard
040983 -           personnel a day or so earlier resolved issues, ref SDS 11
040984 -           JX60; and so did not need the Power Port ID card to check
040985 -           flow rates and flushing instructions, and did not need to
040986 -           change settings on CT test equipment; this resulted in
040987 -           successful CT test using Bard Power Port. ref SDS 11 LK3R
040989 -            ..
040990 -           [On 080912 Steve, District Manager for Bard, disclosed that
040991 -           he sent a representative to the Kaiser CT Department in
040992 -           Oakland a few days before Millie's test to provide training
040993 -           and orientation. ref SDS 12 C65I

041405 -  ..
041406 - Steve said the other call lasted longer than expected.  By the time he
041407 - completed the call, he had forgotten about calling back on Millie's CT
041408 - test.
041410 -  ..
041411 - Steve related having received Millie's letter this morning, per above.
041412 - ref SDS 0 OU8G  He was in a hurry to leave for a meeting, or
041413 - something; he may have mentioned a conference call, but sent a letter
041414 - saying "yes" that Huber needles are standardized for connecting to CT
041415 - equipment to inject contrast medium, answering Millie's question, per
041416 - above. ref SDS 0 Y84R  After sending the letter, he decided to call
041417 - and leave a message to clarify his letter.
