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 kinked catheter was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was one 5fr t/l powerpicc solo catheter.Usage residues were observed throughout the sample and needleless injection caps were attached to all three luer adapters.A permanent kink impression was observed between the 1cm and 2cm depth markings.The sample kinked preferentially at the site of the kink impression during manual manipulation.Microscopic inspection of the sample confirmed the presence of a permanent kink impression.Material wear and discoloration were observed in the vicinity of the impression.The kink impression, material wear and discoloration were consistent with sharp kinking of the catheter shaft.The use residues suggested that kinking occurred during device use.The location of the kinking suggested that device placement, securement, maintenance and access techniques may have contributed.
