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.Based on a review of available complaint information and an evaluation of the available sample evidence, the following was concluded: the complaint of a damaged infusion set was confirmed and the cause appeared to be supplier-related.The product returned for evaluation was one 19ga x 0.75¿ powerloc max safety infusion set with y-site.Usage residues were observed throughout the sample and needleless injection caps were attached to both luer adapters.A crack was observed in the y-site luer, extending from the threads nearly to the branch site.An attempt to infuse water through the sample using a 12ml syringe revealed the sample to be patent to infusion; however, a leak was observed at the crack in the y-site.Microscopic inspection of the crack revealed a granular fracture surface.The crack occurred along a weld line in the molded material.Material discoloration and superficial stress cracks were observed in the vicinity of the fracture.The fracture appeared along a feature in the material that occurred during the molding of the y-site component and appeared to be the result of that weld line feature.The device is a supplied component and the supplier has been notified of this event.
