One peripheral intravenous catheter was returned for analysis in used condition.Visual inspection of the catheter noted that the sub-assembly was not included so the valve could not be evaluated.The sample appeared clean and free of any residue.The nose and cannula were measured to verify that they conformed to specification, as excessive clearance may result in blood leakage through the guard.The cannula and nose were within specification.Based on the evidence, the complaint was unable to be confirmed.
