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, applicable previous investigation(s), sample analysis, applicable fmea documents, applicable manufacturing records, and labeling.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a dislodged y-connector cap was inconclusive since the original sample from the complaint was not returned and could not be tested; however, four sealed powerloc safety infusion sets from the same lot # were returned for evaluation.Upon removal from the package, there appeared to be no visual signs of damage.All of the luer adaptor caps on the y-site were securely connected.A taper gage was used to measure the taper on each of the y-site luer adaptors and each was found to be within specification.In a functional test, a 12 cc syringe was connected to the extension tubing and used to flush each infusion set.All four of the infusion sets were patent to infusion.The clamp between the y-site and the needle was then activated and infusion was attempted again.Each of the infusion sets showed no signs of leakage against pressure and all of the caps on the y-site remained in place.Because the original sample was not returned and because the reported event could not be replicated on the returned samples, the complaint was inconclusive.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
