The complaint of unintended material on the iv catheter was confirmed; however, the source and composition of the material could not be determined from the 20g nexiva iv catheter that was provided for investigation.The sample showed material on the external surface of the 20g nexiva iv catheter tubing near the tip.The needle was not present within the iv catheter.Due to the sample condition, the origin of the material could not be determined.Testing of the foreign material was performed in an attempt to determine its composition, but it was inconclusive per our investigation standards.No other similar complaints were reported from the implicated lot.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended as part of ongoing efforts to identify potential manufacturing related issues.Information will be captured on trend reports and monitored.The bd business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.A review of our risk management documentation was performed and indicates that the potential risk of the reported event was assessed appropriately.We appreciate you taking the time to bring this observation to our attention.Complaints received about this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Information will be captured on trend reports and monitored.Our business team regularly reviews the data collected for identification of emerging trends.We regret any inconvenience this incident may have caused you and your facility.
