Japanese to English translations [Non-PRO]
Medical - Medical: Instruments / contrast medium catheter
Japanese term or phrase: 吹けない
造影剤が吹けない点は現行と同様で問題なし

This is from an internal progress report about a catheter used to introduce a contrast medium into the body.
I don't understand the use of 吹けない.
Any suggestions on a translation for this sentence?
Thanks very much.

Asker: Thank you for your help. I believe cinefil has it right -- it's a typo for 抜けない.
