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 lot history review, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), applicable manufacture records, and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a detached catheter is confirmed; however, the exact cause is unknown.One video of a groshong nxt catheter was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation of the video showed an attempt to connect a groshong clearvue catheter to a two-piece groshong nxt connector.The catheter was threaded through the distal connector piece without issue and its proximal end was slid onto the metal cannula of the proximal connector piece and pushed up against the grey plastic of the proximal connector piece.Then the connector was assembled without issue and appeared to have a firm connection.Then an attempt was made to pull the catheter out of the assembled connector and the catheter was found to become detached with what appeared to be little force.The catheter did not appear to break and was not observed to stretch significantly.This can occur if the blue compression sleeve within the distal connector piece was missing or removed.However, without closer inspection of the products involved in the reported event, it was not possible to determine the root cause of the issue shown in the returned video.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
