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 missing markings on the catheter is confirmed; however, the exact cause is unknown.One photograph of a powerpicc was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation of the photograph showed the device tubing near the molded joint.Several of the tubing markings were missing and some showed signs of wear.Slight discoloration of the catheter tubing was also noted in this region.No indication of the origin of the damage could be seen in the photograph.No additional damage was noted.Use residue was noted near the proximal end of the tubing.Possible causes include using an incompatible chemical with the device; however, it was noted in the description that the facility is using approved disinfectants.There were no distinguishing features in the returned photograph of the device which could aid in identification of a specific root cause.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
