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 leaking catheter was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was a 4f sl ppicc.The investigation findings are consistent with catheter damage caused by contact with a sharp edged instrument such as a scalpel.The returned product sample was evaluated and a break was observed on the extension tubing.Microscopic examination of the catheter break confirmed it was typical of contact with a sharp bladed instrument, and the characteristics observed which supported this type of failure included: ¿ the fracture surface was reflective in nature and contained a striated pattern.This can occur due to pattern transfer of the sharpened edge typically found on a scalpel-type instrument.¿ sharply formed fracture edges ¿ planar shape to the fracture surface an examination of the catheter structure revealed no potential damage/defect related to manufacture of the product.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
