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 kinked stylet was confirmed; however, the root cause was not identified.The product returned for evaluation was one photograph which depicted a 3cg tls stylet.The depicted device had been fully removed from its catheter.The stylet was placed on a drape.A sharp kink was visible within the plastic-coated region near the distal tip.The stylet appeared intact.Stylet deformation was evident in the submitted photograph; however, inspection of the photograph was insufficient to identify the cause of the deformation.Consequently, this complaint is confirmed as ¿cause unknown¿ at this time.Potential contributing factors include stylet insertion past the tip of the catheter following trimming and attempted stylet reinsertion following removal.
