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, applicable previous investigation(s), labeling, applicable manufacturing records, sample analysis and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of catheter migration out of the body was inconclusive due to the sample condition.One x-ray of an upper arm and partial chest was returned for evaluation.The proximal end of a catheter was seen in the x-ray.The catheter appeared to have a radiused bend near the molded suture hub and then a sharper bend in the catheter shaft.The images were forwarded to a radiologist consultant for further review.No evidence of catheter migration was visible in the x-ray.However, there were apparent kinks in the catheter tubing near the skin surface and as the tubing enters the vein.This could be actual kinks, or it could be caused by the angle at which the image was taken.Possible contributing factors for the reported failure mode could include device placement (e.G.Catheter bunching during placement), patient movement, or improper device securement.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
