Manufacturer Narrative

Section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.The customer reported two leaking needles however only returned one device initially for evaluation.The evaluation for the first device has been submitted under medwatch report 3006260740-2023-01134.This report is to address the second device that was returned at a later date.The complaint of a leak is confirmed and was determined to be supplier related.Two 20 g powerloc max infusion sets were returned for evaluation.Functional testing of the samples showed a leak near the housing in each sample.A microscopic observation revealed voids and gaps in the adhesive within the needle housing of both samples.This sparse adhesive coverage allowed for leakage and likely occurred during manufacture of the devices at the supplier facility.The supplier has been notified and bd is working closely with the supplier facility to prevent recurrence of the reported event.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
