Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, trend analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a damaged infusion set was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was one 19ga x 0.75¿ safestep safety infusion set.Usage residues were observed throughout the sample and the safety mechanism was engaged.A needleless injection cap was attached to the luer adapter.A partially circumferential split was observed at the luer/tubing joint.Microscopic inspection of the split revealed a granular fracture surface.Beach marks were observed throughout the fracture surface.Material buckling and discoloration were observed in the vicinity of the split.The split characteristics and material buckling were consistent with material failure due to repetitive stress.It appeared that the tubing fractured, in part, due to repetitive torsional (twisting) stress, suggesting that securement, access and maintenance techniques may have contributed; however, post-market data suggests that the current supplied tubing may be more susceptible to fatigue damage.Both bd and the supplier are currently investigating potential actions to mitigate this type of incident and the complaint sample was manufactured prior to the implementation of any such actions.The supplier has been notified of this event.A lot history review (lhr) review is not possible, as no manufacturing lot number has been provided by the complainant.
