Manufacturer Narrative

The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, trend analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), applicable (b)(4) documents, labeling, and applicable manufacture records.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a damaged powerglide was confirmed and the cause appeared to be use-related.The product returned for evaluation was one 22ga x 8cm powerglide midline catheter assembly.The sample was received assembled.Usage residues were abundant throughout the sample.The catheter exhibited a complete break within the region of the molded joint.The distal catheter fragment overlaid the needle and guidewire.The catheter exhibited multiple kinks and bends along its length.Microscopic inspection of the wire confirmed it to be intact.Several coils were misaligned near the coil transition.Microscopic inspection of the catheter break site revealed sharply defined edges.The break surface exhibited a partially striated and partially granular texture.A triangular notch was observed in the molded joint.The several kinks and bends along the catheter length were typical of attempted catheter advancement against resistance.The catheter tubing break and molded joint notch were consistent with damage caused by retraction of the catheter against the needle bevel or needle re-insertion following catheter advancement.The product ifu states ¿once the catheter has been advanced, do not re-insert the needle back into the catheter or pull the catheter back onto the needle.This may result in damage to the catheter.If the catheter needs to be repositioned, either do so without the aid of the needle, or remove both the catheter and the needle as a unit to prevent the needle from damaging or shearing the catheter.¿ a lot history review (lhr) of recu1382 showed no other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.
