[QUOTE="WendyNicole, post: 174221, member: 31777"] After repeated instances of bent cannulas and occlusion warnings on the FlexLink Plus system, I am wondering if anyone else has noticed that the direction of the kink in the cannula on removing it is always (more or less) the same and is possibly related to the spring-loaded mechanism which locks the needle out of the way when it is removed? I have had 3 of these just today, and looking at the way the system works I am wondering if this is a design flaw. As the needle flips 90' as soon as it is removed from the body, no matter how quickly you do this, part of the needle will still be in the end of the cannula when this happens, possibly causing a kink. Anyone care to comment? [/QUOTE]
