H10: manufacturing review: the device history records have been reviewed and this lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: one 23cm equistream d/l catheter was returned for evaluation.Visual, microscopic, tactile and functional evaluations were performed on the returned device.An in-house syringe was attached to the luers and was patent to infusion and aspiration.No bubbles were observed throughout the in-house syringe.Therefore the investigation is inconclusive for the reported obstruction and air in the device issues as there were no bubbles and obstruction was identified during evaluation and the sample evaluation results indicating no difficulty under laboratory conditions are not by themselves sufficient to confirm that this event did not occur under clinical conditions.A definitive root cause could not be determined based upon the provided information.Labeling review: as the reported event did not allege a labeling or use related issue, a labeling review is not required.H10: d4 (expiry date: 05/2024), g3.H11: section a through f ¿ the information provided by bd represents all 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.
