Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation results: our quality engineer inspected the photograph submitted for evaluation.Bd received one photograph which displayed the implicated 22g winged insyte autoguard with the needle protruding through the catheter.The sample exhibited evidence of use.Due to the presence of what appeared to be blood residue between the catheter tip and the needle puncture site, it appeared that the catheter was able to access the vessel.The needle likely punctured the tubing after insertion.The instructions for use (ifu) state, "if the needle is partially or completely withdrawn from the catheter tubing during insertion, do not re-insert the needle into the catheter tubing as damage may occur." furthermore, the device likely did not retract due to the damage observed of the needle piercing the catheter wall.No defects associated with the manufacturing process could be identified from the photograph.Manufacturing controls are in place to mitigate the occurrence of this type of failure.A device history record review could not be performed as the lot number is unknown.
