It was reported that blood leaked from the bd venflon¿ pro safety peripheral safety iv catheter's control plug during use.The patient was being prepared for a 3 hour surgery" in the operation room, and a "grey pvk" was placed in the right arm."500 ml" of "ringer acetat" was infused, and anesthesia was started by inserting drugs via the pvk port.Blood return was noticed in the cannula, and blood leaked from the port.The infusion was stopped and the vein occluded by manual pressure while the pvk was removed.Inspecting the catheter after by comparing it to an unused one showed the "membrane in the port" was "displaced".Lot#'s 9281169 and 9080793 were reported to have been involved in this event, but it is unknown how many occurrences happened within each.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: "patient is being prepared for abc operation and is in the or.Grey pvk placed in right arm, at elbow.An.Nurse doing the pvk makes no special remarks.An infusion with 500 ml ringer acetat is started.Then the an.Doctor starts anesthesia by inserting drugs via the port on the pvk.The doctor quickly discovers that there is blood return in the cannulae, and blood is coming our of the port.The infusion is stopped, the vein is occluded by manual pressure, and the pvk is removed.When manually inspecting the removed catheter, and comparing it with an unused catheter, it looks like the membrane in the port is displaced, so the blood is not stopped like normal.This could have had consequences for the patient.Under the or covers they would not have seen the bleeding, and the operation was a 3 hour surgery.".

H.6 investigation summary: two representative samples were received by our quality team for evaluation.Both samples were subjected to visual inspection, valve injection test and catheter adapter leak test.Both samples passed the inspection criteria and no leakage was observed; therefore, the incident could not be verified.A device history record review found no non-conformance's associated with this issue during production of this batch.Based on the investigation of the samples provided an actual root cause could not be determined.However, based on the verbatim description, the probable root cause of the leakage could be due to valve moved within the cannula hub.Capa#1379444 has been initiated to address the issue.
