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 revealed blood use residues throughout the returned powerglide pro.The catheter was returned detached from the needle and attached to the pink, plastic slider.The guidewire was observed to be sticking out from the safety mechanism.A microscopic observation revealed the distal tip of the catheter was missing.The break in the catheter was circumferentially aligned and exhibited a chevron-shaped break with a granular fracture surface.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 needle tip.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.H3 other text: evaluation findings are in section h11.
