Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a bent stylet is confirmed but the root cause could not be determined.One 3cg tls stylet with its extension tubing and plastic spike were returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation revealed the stylet to be pulled about halfway through the septum of the extension tubing.One bend was observed at the distal tip of the stylet at the coating, and a second bend was observed just proximal of the septum.Because it is unknown what difficulties were experienced during the placement of the device, the complaint of a bent stylet is confirmed but the exact cause could not be determined.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.Evaluation findings are in section h11.
