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 a cracked infusion set was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was one 20g x 1/2" powerloc max infusion set.The fracture surfaces of the damage were observed to contain striation-like patterns and radiating tear marks, which were indicative of flexural fatigue based failures, which may have been a contributing factor to the extension tubing damage.Repetitive mechanical stresses such as twisting and kinking may have contributed to the observed event; however, it appeared that additional unidentified factors may have contributed.The device is a supplied component and the supplier has been notified of this event.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
