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 leaking infusion set was confirmed and the cause is currently under investigation.The product returned for evaluation was two 20ga x 1" powerloc max safety infsuion sets.The returned product samples were evaluated and the following observations were made: the first sample exhibited a fracture at the luer/tubing joint.The fracture surfaces of the damage contained striation-like patterns, radiating tear marks and material buckling which were indicative of flexural fatigue based failures, which may have been a contributing factor to the extension tubing damage.Repetitive mechanical stresses such as twisting and kinking may have contributed to the observed event; however, it appeared that additional unidentified factors also contributed.The device is a supplied component and the supplier has been notified of this event.The second sample did not exhibit leakage or damage and may have been returned as a reference sample.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
