It was reported by healthcare professional "we had a powerglide issue on friday.Went to place, she said the access and wire deployment went in fine without feeling any issues.She went to thread the catheter and it didn't go.Attempted to pull back on the catheter and wire but both were stuck.She pulled everything out entirely and found that the wire was completely bent backwards, and the needle was through the catheter.They did measurements and ensured everything came out.".

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 the catheter being perforated by the needle and the guidewire being bent was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was one 22ga x 8cm powerglide pro midline catheter assembly.Usage residues were observed throughout the sample.The guidewire was advanced.Multiple bends were observed in the guidewire, which was intact.The needle protruded from the catheter approximately 3cm from the distal tip.Microscopic inspection of the split in the catheter revealed a glossy fracture surface.A longitudinally aligned scoring mark was observed on the inside surface of the catheter leading into the fracture surface.Microscopic inspection of the catheter tip revealed deformation.The catheter perforation was consistent with damage caused by contact with the tip of the introducer needle.The guidewire bends and catheter tip deformation were consistent with damage caused by attempted insertion/advancement against resistance, such as into tissue.It appeared that initial resistance was encountered during attempted device placement, followed by catheter withdrawal onto the introducer needle.The product ifu states ¿warning: once the catheter has been advanced, do not re-insert the needle back into the catheter or pull the catheter back onto the needle.If the catheter needs to be repositioned, either do so without the aid of the needle, or remove both the catheter and the needle as a unit to prevent the needle from damaging or shearing the catheter.¿.
