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.The complaint of a leaking infusion set is confirmed and was determined to be use-related.One 19 ga x 1.0 in.Powerloc infusion set was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation revealed some use residues throughout the returned infusion set.A functional test of attempting to infuse water into the infusion set using a 12 ml syringe revealed the extension tubing to leak about halfway down the tubing.A microscopic observation revealed a chevron-shaped split in the extension tubing.Striations were observed along the fracture surface, and the fracture edges appeared sharp.The features observed in the split were consistent with sharp instrument damage.Because the device was found to be leaking in the extension tubing, the complaint of a leaking infusion set is confirmed.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
