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 damaged catheter is confirmed but the root cause could not be determined.One photograph of a powerpicc catheter was returned for evaluation.Inspection of the photograph found that a circumferentially aligned tear was present on the tubing near the distal end.No other features of the tear could be discerned based on the photograph.Based on the available material for review, the complaint is confirmed but there is insufficient evidence to identify the root cause.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
