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 catheter break is confirmed and was determined to be use-related.One 20 ga powerglide pro catheter was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation of the returned device showed blood residues throughout the device.A microscopic observation of the break site for both the proximal and distal break site revealed a chevron-shaped break at the distal end of the catheter.The catheter fracture surface appeared shiny and granular.The failure of a break in the catheter was determined to be related to pulling the catheter back against the needle bevel.The product ifu states, ¿once the catheter has been advanced, do not re-insert the needle back into the catheter or pull the catheter back onto the needle.If the catheter needs to be repositioned, either do so without the aid of the needle, or remove both the catheter and the needle as a unit to prevent the needle from damaging or shearing the catheter.¿ this complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
