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: previous complaints, patient severity, applicable manufacturing records, submitted photograph, and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a hole in the catheter was inconclusive with the provided information.A photograph was provided for evaluation which depicted two per-q-cath catheters, each inside a clear plastic bag.Needleless injection caps were attached to the luer hubs of those catheters but no other relevant detail could be determined from evaluation of the image.A review of the manufacture records associated with the provided lot number found no potential cause identified during product manufacture.Should the physical sample be returned at a later time, this investigation will be updated.This event will be recorded for future trending and monitoring of this complaint type.
