Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation summary it was reported the item was broken.This is the 1st complaint for lot # 9351580 for this type of defect or symptom.A device history review was conducted for lot number 9351580.There was no documentation for this type of defect during the entire production run of this batch.One photo was provided.The photo shows an iv device, a plastic bag and one posiflush syringe.The posiflush platform was contacted.After an investigation with the dchu it was confirmed that an onsite investigation was performed.Findings from the site visit determined that there is most likely a correlation to the usage of alcohol products (in the form of tips) and the incidences of cracked, broken or crumbled fixed collars on make luer end of set me2017.If proper dry times are not followed after scrubbing the hub, alcohol binding may result causing the reported failure modes.With the continued use of alcohol products; bd has proposed alternate products that will have improved product performance.The improved chemical resistance, including alcohol resistance, is due to the materials used in manufacturing the male and female luers.Root cause: can¿t be confirmed.Nothing in the bd manufacturing process has been identified that could contribute to this failure mode.
