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, complaint and batch history, applicable previous investigation(s), labeling, applicable manufacturing records, sample analysis and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a damaged sheath tip is confirmed and appears to be manufacturing related.One 3.5 fr x 7 cm microez microintroducer was returned for evaluation.The dilator was not returned.The product sticker label indicates lot: regp1017.The proximal end of the sheath was observed to be kinked causing the sheath tubing to be compressed.The length of the sheath contained a slight curvature.The distal tip of the sheath contained deformation which appeared to be inward bunching of the material.Microscopic inspection of the sheath tip revealed a blunt tip surface.The tip taper did not appear to be fully formed.The blunt sheath tip likely contributed to the resistance experience during insertion; therefore, the complaint is confirmed to be manufacturing related.Bd is working closely with the manufacturing facility to prevent reoccurrence of the reported event.
