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 damaged catheter is confirmed; however, the exact cause is unknown.Five photographs of a powerpicc were returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation of the photographs showed that there was a split in the catheter tubing.There were no distinguishing features in the returned photographs of the device which could aid in identification of a specific root cause.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
