It was reported, patient wouldn¿t lay flat- propped up due to condition.They tried axillary subclavian- ij not available due to tubing etc couldn¿t access.He was having trouble getting needle through vein- could see the vein and artery on ultrasound but needle wouldn¿t penetrate the vein.He pulled back and tried to reinsert in the vein and then he removed the catheter completely- when he pulled it back he saw the bur.He tried to thread the guidewire and he met resistance.After he met resistance he pulled the guidewire back, tried to reposition the needle a little bit.Clinician inserted needle and was having issues getting through tissue.Proceeded to insert and encountered issues threading guidewire.Second insertion was a breeze- didn¿t use the same puncture site but was near.No patient harm, injury, complication or negative outcome.

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 difficult centovena one insertion was confirmed; however, the root cause was not identified.The product returned for evaluation was one centrovena one catheter insertion assembly and one 7fr by 20cm central venous catheter.The guidewire was removed from the needle.The sheath was cut and the safety mechanism was engaged over the needle tip.Blood residue was observed throughout the distal region of the needle and sheath.A portion of the tip of the sheath was torn and folded backward.Microscopic inspection of the sample confirmed deformation at the distal tip of the sheath.Two parallel, longitudinally aligned split were observed, corresponding to the width of the needle channel.The splits resulted in a flap of sheath material that peeled away from the needle.The tip of the sheath appeared well-formed.The spacing between the two longitudinal splits suggested that buckling occurred where the needle slot leaves the sheath without support.Such damage may occur if the guidewire is not withdrawn into the needle shaft prior to insertion.The product ifu states ¿failure to retract the guidewire into the needle may result in damage to the integrated sheath.¿.
