The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, frequency analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a break in the extension leg tubing is confirmed; however the cause is unknown and an internal investigation is currently ongoing to determine the root cause.One 4 fr dual lumen powerpicc provena was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation showed use residue throughout the sample.A large split was observed in the purple extension leg near the distal end of the luer connector.Both lumens of the sample were flushed and pressurized with a 12 ml syringe of water.The red lumen was found to be patent to infusion and aspiration and no leaks were found when the lumen was pressurized; however, leakage was observed emanating from the split in the tubing of the purple lumen.A microscopic observation revealed several beach marks and cracks on the break surface of the purple lumen, which are suggestive of material fatigue.The tubing material was observed to be attached to the luer connector at irregular points along the tubing¿s circumference, and cracking appeared to have initiated at one or more of these points.The beginning of a split was observed in the tubing of the red lumen and cracks similar to those observed on the purple lumen were observed on the break surface of the beginning of a split in the red lumen.An internal investigation is currently ongoing to determine the root cause of this splitting; reference (b)(4) for further information.A lot history review (lhr) of rebu0691 showed no other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.
