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 guidewire and catheter breaking during insertion using a powerglide pro is confirmed and was determined to be use-related.One 22 ga powerglide pro was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation showed blood use residues throughout the returned device.The needle of the powerglide pro was bent upon the return of the device with the safety mechanism advanced over the needle tip.A break was observed in the catheter just distal of the molded luer.A microscopic observation revealed the chevron-shaped break in the catheter to have a granular fracture surface with sharp fracture edges.The distal end of the catheter was returned with the device.The observed characteristics of the split are typically caused by pulling the catheter back against the needle bevel during the insertion process.The complaint of a break in the catheter is confirmed.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.H3 other text: evaluation findings are in section h11.
