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 damaged powerglide midline catheter was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was one 20ga x 8cm powerglide pro midline catheter assembly.Usage residues were observed throughout the sample.The catheter was advanced and the safety mechanism was engaged.The catheter terminated 6.2cm from the molded joint.The break site appeared irregular.Microscopic inspection of the break in the catheter revealed a partially granular and partially glossy fracture surface.The break exhibited a tapered profile.A longitudinally aligned scoring mark was observed in the inner wall of the catheter, leading into the break site.The catheter fracture features and the longitudinal scoring mark were consistent with damage caused by contact between the catheter shaft and the needle tip.The use residues indicated that contact occurred during attempted device placement.Such damage can occur if the catheter is withdrawn onto the needle following advancement and if the needle is reinserted.The product ifu states ¿warning: once the catheter has been advanced, do not re-insert the needle back onto the catheter or pull the catheter back onto the needle.If the catheter needs to be repositioned, either do so without the aid of the needle, or remove both the catheter and the needle as a unit to prevent the needle from damaging or shearing the catheter.¿ h3 other text: evaluation findings are in section h.11.
