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 leaking infusion set is confirmed; however, the exact cause could not be determined.One 20 ga x 0.75 in.Powerloc max infusion set was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation revealed some biological residue in the sample.A functional test of flushing the infusion set with water using a 12 ml syringe was performed.A leak was observed in the tubing just distal to the luer hub.A microscopic observation revealed a split in the tubing where the leak was found.The surface of the split was observed to have striation-like patterns and radiating tear marks.The edges of the split were observed to be uneven with a rough texture.The investigation findings are indicative of flexural fatigue-based failures, which may have been a contributing factor to the extension tubing damage.Repetitive mechanical stresses such as twisting and kinking may have contributed to the observed event; however, it appeared that additional unidentified factors may have contributed.The device is a supplied component and the supplier has been notified of this event.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
