Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation results: the complaint of a hole in the catheter was confirmed and the cause appeared to be associated with use.A v-shaped hole was observed in the 20g nexiva catheter near the adapter, which was consistent with needle puncture damage.The evidence of use indicates that the damage likely occurred during the insertion process.The ifu indicates to not reinsert the needle into the catheter during the insertion process as damage may occur.Manufacturing controls are in place to mitigate the occurrence of this type of failure.The complaint has been documented and will continue to be monitored as part of ongoing efforts to identify potential manufacturing related issues.
