It was reported a powerglide tip sheared off while attempting to place.He stated he got in the vein, wire advanced and then when he went to advance the catheter it would not advance all the way, it appeared the vessel has spasmed down.When he went to remove the device he felt some resistance right at the insertion site and inspected the end of the catheter and appeared a piece of the tip was sheared off.The retained segment was not found, unsure if it broke off inside or just outside the patient.No other intervention was needed.No patient injury.Unfortunately, he did not save the device for inspection.
