H10: manufacturing review: neither a lot history review nor a dhr review could be performed as the lot number was not provided.Labeling review: a review of product labeling documents (e.G., procedural instructions, indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, contraindications, nursing guide, and unit label) showed that the product labeling is adequate.Investigation summary: one electronic photo was evaluated.The photo shows two pieces of groshong catheter, a port and a cathlock, all disassembled.Blood can be seen all over the sample.There are two parallel lines on the septum of the port.One port with groshong catheter was returned for evaluation.Visual, microscopic, tactile and functional testing were performed.The sample had blood and fluid residue and showed to be the port, detached cath-lock, detached 7.3 cm length of interim catheter tubing and detached 7.6 cm length of distal catheter tubing.Initial examination of the port segment showed multiple puncture access and two extensive slits to the port septum, and location stains on the stem evidencing previous locations of the proximal end of tubing and cath-lock.Gross examination of the tubing segments showed tubing with clear and distinct depth markings, distinct slight curves, cath-lock compression marks on the interim segment confirming the proximal end between 14/15 depth markings and multiple partial circumferential securement creases on both.Further examination showed the common complete circumferentially shattered break ends of the tubing between the 7/8 cm depth markings to partially match up and exhibit flattened elliptical profiles.The tactile evaluation showed necking at the crease sites.The investigation is confirmed for the alleged break in the catheter.H11: b1, b5, g5, h3, h6 (device, results, conclusion).H11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
