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 following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, trend analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a leaking catheter was unconfirmed because the problem could not be reproduced.The product returned for evaluation was one 3fr s/l provena powerpicc catheter.Usage residues were observed throughout the sample.An attempt to infuse water through the sample using a 12ml syringe revealed the sample to be patent to infusion and aspiration with no observed leaks.No leaks were observed during sustained (>15 seconds) hydraulic pressurization of the sample.Microscopic inspection of the sample did not reveal any damage or evidence of leakage.No damage or deficiencies were discovered during evaluation of the returned sample.Consequently this complaint is unconfirmed at this time.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
