Event Description
|
It was reported that the bd arterial cannula experienced catheter separation from the hub and leakage.During removal, a portion of the device remained embedded within the patient.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: problem-free insertion with the help of the ultrasound of an arterial cannula for perioperative monitoring, problem-free acceptance of the invasive blood pressure measurement.In the awr planned removal of the cannula for further relocation to the peripheral station.Suddenly a very bloody puncture site.When pulling the cannula suddenly no complete removal is possible.Broken piece remained in the blood vessel.

Manufacturer Narrative

The following fields were updated due to additional information: d.9.Device available for eval?: yes.D.9.Returned to manufacturer on: 10/21/2021.H.6.Investigation: four photos and two samples were received by our quality team for evaluation.From the samples, a broken catheter was observed.One kinked area was observed on the catheter tubing.A clean cut was observed on the part-off edges of the catheter tubing.A kinked area was observed on the catheter tubing and no broken catheter was seen on the second sample.A review of the internal manufacturing device records and raw material history files for the reported lot number was performed and no recorded quality problems or rejections to this incident were found.The arterial cannula tube draw machine was reviewed and the machine parts that contact the catheter tubing are the machine grippers.However, the machine grippers have a round flat surface with no sharp edges that could cause part-off or kink in the catheter tubing.The arterial cannula assembly machine was also reviewed.There is an automated vision inspection machine at the arterial cannula assembly machine, and it will auto reject any parts not meeting the lie distance requirement.If the catheter tubing is broken, its lie distance would most likely have failed and will automatically be rejected by the line.A simulation was conducted by using scissors to cut the catheter tubing of an arterial cannula.The part-off end of the catheter tubing was observed under a scope.A clean cut is observed on the part-off area of the catheter tubing which is similar to that of the returned actual sample.Therefore, the broken catheter could have been caused by a sharp object such as a scissors.Based on the investigation, the broken / kinked catheter could have been caused outside the manufacturing process.H3 other text : see h.10.
