Additional Manufacturer Narrative
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 catheter was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was one 5fr t/l powerpicc solo catheter.The investigation findings are consistent with catheter damage caused by contact with a sharp edged instrument such as a scalpel.The returned product sample was evaluated and a split was observed in the white-luered extension tubing, near the molded joint.Microscopic examination of the catheter split confirmed it was typical of contact with a sharp bladed instrument, and the characteristics observed which supported this type of failure included: the fracture surface was reflective in nature and contained a striated pattern.This can occur due to pattern transfer of the sharpened edge typically found on a scalpel-type instrument.Sharply formed fracture edges.Planar shape to the fracture surface.An examination of the catheter structure revealed no potential damage/defect related to manufacture of the product.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
