It was reported by the customer contact that on, (b)(6) 2023 a peripheral iv was placed in a patient which caused "excessive bleeding" after inserting the needle.Due to this the catheter was removed and a new peripheral iv was placed.Upon removal of the catheter it was noted that the catheter was "snapped/separating right at the hub".A sample was requested to be returned for evaluation.It has been determined that the reported event could cause or contribute to serious injury if it were to occur.In an abundance of caution, this medwatch is being filed.If any further relevant information is identified or obtained, a supplemental medwatch will be submitted.
