Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
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 malposition and kinking of the catheter was inconclusive due to the sample condition.The frontal chest radiograph showed a right-sided picc with overlapping of the catheter tubing.Breaks, bends, kinks, and/or looping could neither be confirmed nor excluded.The catheter tip appeared to be overlaying the svc confluence, but the density of the mediastinum made definitive confirmation impossible.The provided radiograph was grainy and difficult to interpret due to the quality of the image.Therefore, the radiograph could not be used to confirm the reported event.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
