Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
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 leak is confirmed and was determined to be use related.Five 22g x 3/4" powerloc max infusion sets were returned for evaluation.The returned product samples were evaluated and 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.The device is a supplied component and the supplier has been notified of this event.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
