H6: investigation summary a physical sample was not available for investigation but bd was provided with a photo of the issue for evaluation.A review of the device history record was performed for the reported lot, 3038466, and no quality issues were found during production.Our quality engineer reviewed the provided photo and observed that the extension tubing had expanded and deformed near the catheter adapter but it could not be determined if the tubing ruptured or not.If the tubing had ruptured it was likely that this caused the reported leakage but without evidence in the provided photo the engineer could not make this determination.There was also no signs of leakage in the provided photo.Therefore, based off the provided photo the engineer was able to verify the reported defect of ballooned tubing but could not verify the reported issue of leakage or ruptured tubing.Unfortunately, without a physical sample available to inspection a definitive root cause could not be determined.H3 other text : see h10.
