Investigation summary: bd received an unsealed 22 gauge insyte autoguard blood control pro unit from an unknown lot number.Additionally, three photographs of the defective product were provided for investigation.A review of the device history record could not be performed as the reported lot was unknown and could not be identified from the returned unit or the provided photographs.Our quality engineer visually inspected the returned unit and identified that only the catheter was returned.There appeared to be damage to the bottom of the catheter adapter.Next, a leak test was performed and no leakage was observed.Finally, the device was flushed and aspirated using a syringe while submerged in water to detect for any possible leaks but no leaks were found.Therefore, based off the visual inspection the engineer was unable to verify any issues with air bubbles or leakage but could identify damage to the adapter.This damage could potentially cause air bubbles or air in line if used.Unfortunately, the engineer was unable to determine a definitive root cause for the observed damage.
