Our quality engineer inspected the photographs submitted for evaluation.Your report of a damaged catheter was confirmed; however, the root cause could not be determined from the three photographs that were provided for investigation.The photos showed material consistent with an insyte autoguard device.The needle was protruding through the catheter tubing, which may have affected the reported inability to retract the needle.This type of damage can occur from reinserting the needle into the catheter during the placement procedure.Without the physical sample, the root cause of the reported event could not be determined.A device history record review showed no non-conformances associated with this issue during the production of this batch.Complaints received for 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 collected data for identification of emerging trends.
