Correction: this report is being sent to indicate the complaint event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803.As such, this event no longer meets the set criteria for a reportable event; no further reports regarding this event will be submitted.Inspection of the returned device found that the device was bent in several places due to customer repack.The tip of the catheter had a rectangular indentation approximately 2mm long with a slightly melted appearance on the edge.The device was not split or separated, as initially reported.There is no evidence to suggest that the observed device failure would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury if the failure were to recur.Furthermore, there is no evidence that the device caused or contributed to a serious injury, as no life-threatening or permanently impairing injury took place, nor was intervention taken as a result of the device failure which would be required to prevent permanent impairment or damage to the patient.As such, the event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death, serious injury, or reportable product malfunction.
