Received one 5fx60cm sgl pro picc.Customer reported "leakage from a hole in the extension line was detected immediately after device was implanted".A flush test was used to locate the area of leakage in the extension tube.Closer examination under 10x magnification revealed a tear on the extension, which appears to have been made from a sharp object.The manufacture process has steps throughout the process to test for and detect leaks.The tear on the extension was clearly made by a sharp instrument, such as a scalpel.Any such tear would have been detected during the manufacture and inspection process.It is believed this cut occurred after the device package was opened.
