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 cracked infusion set y-site luer was confirmed and the cause appeared to be supplier-related.The product returned for evaluation was one 20ga x 0.75¿ powerloc max safety infusion set with y-site.Usage residues were observed throughout the sample.Needleless injection caps were attached to both luers and the safety mechanism was engaged.A longitudinally aligned split was observed in the y-site, extending from the orifice to the y-site branch.Microscopic inspection of sample 1 revealed that the split occurred along a molding weld line.The split surfaces were dull and granular.Abundant superficial stress cracks were observed throughout the y-site in the vicinity of the luer orifice.The crack occurred along a feature caused during the molding process.The device is a supplied component and corrective actions have been implemented by the supplier.The complaint sample was manufactured prior to implementation of those actions.
