Additional Manufacturer Narrative
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 this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a tubing break was confirmed and the cause is currently under investigation.The product returned for evaluation was one 20 g safestep infusion set.The returned product sample was evaluated and the following observations were made: ¿ a tear in the extension tube was seen at the interface of the proximal luer adapter.The fracture surfaces of the damage contained striation-like patterns which were indicative of flexural fatigue based failures, which may have been a contributing factor to the extension tubing damage.Repetitive mechanical stresses such as twisting and kinking may have contributed to the observed event; however, it appeared that additional unidentified factors also contributed.
