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 a break in the catheter extension tubing is confirmed and was determined to be related to use of the device.One 5 fr d/l powerpicc catheter was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation of the returned catheter showed blood residues along the device.The purple hub was detached from its extension tubing.A small remainder of the purple extension tubing was visible inside the detached purple hub.A microscopic observation revealed the proximal extension tubing break site was visible inside the detached purple hub.Both break sites exhibited a shiny fracture surface with some beach marks observed along the fracture surface.The distal break site appeared uneven, and the fracture edges appeared rounded.The fracture edges were observed to have discoloration of the extension tubing from mechanical wear and manipulation of the tubing.The break observed exhibits characteristics of a fatigue failure which can occur from twisting, bending, or kinking of the tubing, while pulling forces may have also contributed to the failure.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
