The account reported finding damaged component, and the complaint stated that the catheter was bent and would not reform and could not be used.Medline received 3 photos and observed a small kink along one side of the catheter line; finished good production records, finished good pack build, and trending were reviewed, and a sample was later received of a single catheter with small kink along the line.The reported issue was confirmed, and findings were not altered after the sample was received.Based on the component's location in the pack it is unlikely that placement contributed to the reported issue; the item was either damaged prior to placement in the pack and was not noted during assembly or the item became damaged due to rough handling of the pack, and the complaint was provided to the vendor for further evaluation.There were no reports of death, serious injury, medical intervention, or follow up care.It has been determined that the reported event could cause or contribute to serious injury if it were to occur again.In an abundance of caution, this is a reportable event.If additional information becomes available this report will be reopened and reevaluated.This medical device report (mdr) is being submitted as part of retrospective review activities, which include review of historical data in accordance with regulations at 21 cfr part 803.The information included in this mdr reflects the information reasonably known to the manufacturer at the time of this retrospective review and submission.
