Correction: this report is being sent to indicate the complaint event is not reportable.On return of device 26dec2024, a preliminary dfa was performed and no separation of the catheter was observed.However, an indention near the tip of the catheter was observed.There is no evidence to suggest that the observed device failure "bent" would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury if the failure were to recur.Furthermore, there is no evidence that the device caused or contributed to a serious injury, as no life-threatening or permanently impairing injury took place, nor was intervention taken as a result of the device failure which would be required to prevent permanent impairment or damage to the patient.As such, this event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death, serious injury, or reportable product malfunction.
