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 batch history, labeling, applicable manufacturing records, sample analysis and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint that the statlock would not remain closed was confirmed but the cause is unknown.Four packages from fixed-post picc plus crescent statlock devices were returned.However, only two statlock devices were returned.One of the devices was received in an unopened package.The statlock appeared unremarkable to gross visual examination.The latch posts were present and appeared undamaged and unremarkable.When an attempt was made to close the doors on the sample, the doors closed and stayed latched per design.The other statlock was received in an open pouch.The liner had not been removed from the sample.Black marker was seen on the sample, around where the top left door latch should have been.However, the latch was not seen on the sample.All returned packaging pouches were examined to see if the latching post was returned.However, the latching post was not returned for evaluation.An attempt was made to latch the doors on the sample.The right door latched and stayed shut, per design.The left door could close but did not click shut, as the latch post was missing.The door would not stay shut without the latch post.Microscopic examination of the area that was missing the latch post revealed that the latch post likely broke off of the sample.The edge of the break site was angled with parallel striations aligned to one side.This indicates that a side load force was likely applied to the post, causing it to break.However, it could not be determined how or when the latching post had become broken.Possible contributing factors could include forces applied to the device during storage or use.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
