Investigation results: the complaint of a broken catheter was confirmed from the photograph that was provided for investigation.The photo showed a 20g insyte autoguard iv catheter with evidence of use.The catheter tubing was broken near the catheter adapter.A short segment of tubing remained attached to the catheter adapter.Without the physical sample or better images of the adjoining ends of the catheter, the root cause could not be determined.Potential contributing factors include material fatigue or sharp instrument damage.A review of the inspection records and quality/manufacturing controls for the implicated lot indicated no issues with the manufacturing process.The complaint has been documented and will continue to be monitored as part of ongoing efforts to identify potential manufacturing related issues.
