It was reported the on-duty nurse identified a blue object obstructing the catheter advancement.It was eventually removed using a sterile syringe needle.Although catheter placement succeeded afterward, leakage persisted at the insertion site during infusion, rendering it unusable.Ultimately, the existing peripherally inserted central catheter (picc) was removed, and a new picc was placed for the patient.The entire procedure took a considerable amount of time.

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 difficulty assembling the catheter to the connector assembly leading to a leak is inconclusive due to the quality of the returned photograph.One photograph of a groshong catheter was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation of the photograph showed the device implanted into the patient.No damage or evidence a leak was discerned on the sample in the photograph.Inspection of the returned photograph was insufficient to identify the alleged issue or a root cause of the reported issue.Therefore, this complaint is inconclusive at this time.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
