H6: investigation summary our quality engineer inspected the sample returned for evaluation.Bd received one physical sample without the packaging.Visual inspection of the device revealed that a portion of the catheter tubing was missing from the catheter tip.Magnified inspection of the damaged area led to the conclusion that the catheter tubing had been pierced by the needle tip due to the v-shaped cut observed, which is indicative of spear through.Other small cuts were observed at the end of the catheter tubing.This type of damage most likely contributed to separation of the catheter tubing tip.During the manufacturing process, spear through may result from the mandrel hitting the catheter during the tube flare process of production.It may also be a result of a gripper malfunction during manufacture, as a consequence of worn mandrels.This type of defect may also occur within the user environment if the clinician re-cannulates the needle during or before insertion.If the device was received with a needle piercing through the catheter tubing, venipuncture would be painful if not impossible.Based on the provided feedback regarding this incident, the investigative conclusions point towards an application related origin for the defect.As a lot number was unavailable for this incident, a review of the production records could not be completed.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Information will be captured on trend reports and monitored.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.H3 other text : see h10.
