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 complaint of a fiber in the kit was inconclusive due to the sample condition.Two photographs of a previously opened 5fr d/l powerpicc solo ft catheter kit were returned for evaluation.The kit components appeared unused as most components were within their respective protective packaging sheaths and no residual material from use was noted on the components.A long dark curled fiber was noted in the procedural tray, near the chloraprep and guidewire.The fiber appeared consistent with a hair or hair-like material.As the kit had been opened, it could not be independently confirmed if the fiber had been packaged in the kit or if it was introduced into the tray after opening the tray.A review of the manufacture quality and inspection records for the specific lot involved found no potentially related issues encountered during the manufacture and assembly of that product lot.Manufacturing controls are in place to mitigate the occurrence of this type of failure.The report of a foreign material within the packaging has been documented and included in complaint trending.This type of complaint will continue to be monitored as part of ongoing efforts to identify potential manufacturing related issues.H3 other text: evaluation findings are in section h11.
