Manufacturer Narrative

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.Based on a review of available complaint information and an evaluation of the available sample evidence, the following was concluded: the complaint of an improper sheath peel was confirmed and the cause appeared to be related to device manufacture.The product returned for evaluation was one photograph which depicted a 4.5fr microintroducer peel-apart sheath.The device was held in a gloved hand.Blood residue was visible on the sample and the glove.The grey sheath was completely split and one half, including the orange pull tab was not visible.The remaining pull tab was attached to one of the split grey tube halves.A ring of orange plastic was visible at the proximal end of the pull tab and a length of powerpicc catheter was visible inlaid through that ring.The material surrounding the catheter shaft was consistent with the orange plastic of the pull tab and demonstrated that the pull tabs had not split correctly during device use.The depicted device had not split correctly, as indicated in the event description.The improper fracture between the two orange pull tabs appeared to be caused by the molding/skiving process during device manufacture.Photographs have been forwarded to the manufacturing site for further evaluation.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
