Manufacturer Narrative

H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.The complaint of a break in the catheter is confirmed and was determined to be use related.One 20 ga powerglide pro was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation showed abundant blood use residues throughout the returned powerglide pro.The safety mechanism was advanced over the tip of the needle.The guidewire was advanced out of the distal end of the needle tip.The distal tip of the guidewire appeared bent.The returned catheter was returned detached from the powerglide pro.The returned catheter was observed to be circumferentially broken about halfway down the catheter shaft.A microscopic observation revealed a chevron-shaped break in the catheter.The catheter fracture surface appeared granular and uneven.Because of the observed characteristics of the break site in the catheter and the advancement into the tissue of the patient described in the event description, the complaint of a broken catheter is confirmed and was determined to be use related and appeared to be caused by contact between the catheter and the introducer needle tip.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
