H6: investigation summary: our quality engineer inspected the photograph submitted for evaluation.Bd received one photograph which displayed a used 20g nexiva unit.The extension tubing appears discolored, and a long tear can be on the extension tubing close to the catheter adapter end.Based on these observations, it is likely that the tubing ballooned and burst during infusion.No kinks can be seen on the unit; however, the full unit is not visible, so it still remains a potential root cause.During manufacturing, a ballooned tubing may result from an occlusion due to excess adhesive between the catheter adapter and extension tubing or from kinked tubing.If an occlusion was present, the components would have to be partially occluded as a full occlusion would likely cause the clinician to experience issues during flashback and flushing of the device.Additionally, during use, ballooning may occur due to a kinked, occluded, or obstructed tubing.Without the physical device the root cause could not be further narrowed down.A device history record review showed no non-conformances associated with this issue during the production of this batch.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Information will be captured on trend reports and monitored.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.
