H.6.Investigation summary: dhr- the lot number was unknown therefore review could not be performed.Received a 20ga nexiva catheter-adapter extension set along with a specimen bottle.The needle-grip assembly and packaging were not returned for evaluation.Visual/microscopic evaluation: the pinch clamp was not engaged.Traces of patient residue and medicine was observed on the catheter adapter and on the extension set.The tubing was ballooned entirely from the y adapter and up the port on the wing adapter.¿a portion of the tubing had been blown up (burst).Conclusion(s): a definite source that caused the tubing to balloon could not be determined, the extension tubing may be damaged and/or ballooned if the catheter becomes occluded, occlusion of the unit will increase the internal pressure and can cause the tubing to break, balloon and /or burst.Potential contributors to failure (for used extension tube): 1- had a kinked /or occluded catheter tubing during usage, this could increase the pressure within the extension tubing and cause it to balloon, split and/or burst.2- infusion not performed correctly or at a psi or flow rate above the recommendations per nexiva instructions for use.
