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), labeling, applicable manufacture records, and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of catheter leak is inconclusive due to poor sample condition.Two photo samples of a per-q-cath catheter were provided for evaluation.The first photo provided showed a product label of a bard per-q-cath plus catheter kit.The product information showed lot: rect0098.The second photo shows a 2 fr perqcath catheter on the kit tray without additional accessory components.The stylet t-lock assembly is present within the catheter.The catheter is also shown fully advanced through the microintroducer sheath.The catheter could not be clearly inspected for the presence of a split or damage.Possible contributing factors include sharp instrument, stylet, or tensile damage.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal any evidence to suggest a manufacturing related root cause contributed to the reported event.Since the complaint could not be confirmed from the photo samples provided, the complaint remains inconclusive at this time.A lot history review (lhr) of rect0098 showed thirteen other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.
