No photos or samples were received by our quality team for evaluation therefore the failure mode could not be verified.A review of the internal manufacturing device records and raw material history files for the reported lot numbers was performed and no recorded quality problems or rejections to this incident were found.Based on the quality team's investigation, the root cause of this incident cannot be determined.Current control there is in-process visual inspection for damage component and outgoing inspection in place to check for functionality of the product ie; retraction test, flashback, catheter adapter pull test.The nexiva manufacturing process was reviewed, there is no change in process that can cause the catheter tubing damage / defective.
