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 leak in the catheter was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was one 5 fr d/l groshong catheter.The damage observed in the returned sample was characteristic of over-pressurization (burst) damage.This can occur through the use of syringes smaller than 10ml, by flushing against an occlusion, or due to excessive force applied during infusion procedures.The returned product sample was evaluated, and a split was observed proximal to the 39 cm depth marker.This catheter damage was typical of a burst, and the characteristics observed which supported this type of failure included: ¿ 'c' shaped split ¿ tensile weakness at the fracture site (due to material ballooning prior to burst) ¿ granular fracture surface texture (typical of tearing failure modes) forceful flushing against an occlusion can cause this type of failure.Occlusions may occur in a catheter due to a kink, or excessive blood residues inside the catheter shaft.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
