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 following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, complaint and lot history review, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), applicable manufacture records, and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of detached retainers is confirmed and was determined to be manufacturing related.Five picc plus statlock devices with tricot pads and adjustable posts were returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation showed the retainer of two of the returned samples were completely detached from their respective pads and another sample was found to be missing its retainer entirely, with only the pad returned.One sample was found to be partially detached from its pad, and the retainer of one sample that was returned in a sealed kit was found to detach from its pad with relative ease.A microscopic observation revealed some evidence of adhesive on the returned pads and adhesive on the underside of the retainers; however, the adhesive coverage was observed to be poor, particularly at the left, right, and bottom sides of the retainers.The poor adhesive coverage on the majority of the underside of the returned retainers suggests an insufficient amount of adhesive was applied to the retainers during manufacturing.A lot history review (lhr) of judy0418 showed ten other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.
