H11: 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 complaint of a catheter causing swelling in the arm near the insertion site was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was one 4 fr s/l groshong catheter.The investigation findings are consistent with damage accumulated through flexural fatigue.Flexural fatigue occurs due to cyclic kinking of the catheter tube in which physiological, placement, usage, and mechanical factors may gradually form a crack(s) in the catheter.The returned product sample was evaluated and a split was observed between the 37 cm and 38 cm depth markings.The catheter split contained physical features associated with material fatigue, and the characteristics observed which supported this type of failure included: damage which was circumferentially aligned.Fracture edges which were rounded and polished due to repeated material wear.'c' shaped impressions leading into the fracture site which are consistent with material buckling due to movement which caused the fracture edges to be pressed together.Overall elliptical shape to the fracture cross-section (a result of repeated kinking of the tubing).An examination of the catheter structure revealed no potential damage/defect related to manufacture of the product.The damage location suggested that catheter securement, access and maintenance techniques may have contributed.
