Event Description

It was reported that bd insyte autoguard plastic inside the hub opening.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: i am sending this message to notify bd that we discovered a defect in one of your iv catheters today (3/4/2024) at our facility.The opening of the iv catheter hub (where the iv bag line is connected) had a small plastic piece sticking out from the side (inside the hub by opening).The plastic piece was the same color as the hub.This was noted when the nurse attempted to hook up the iv line to the hub (the plastic piece prevented the line connecter from going into the catheter hub).As a result, the successfully inserted catheter had to be removed from the patient¿s arm and restarted in another location.Please note that the patient was not harmed ¿ however, they did have to be poked twice as we needed to restart the iv elsewhere.The nurse was unharmed as well.The patient¿s procedure was delayed by approximately 10 minutes while we restarted the iv in a different location.Please feel free to reach out to me with any additional questions.
