The event occurred in (b)(6). On (b)(6) 2019 copan received an email from its (b)(4) distributor informing that: " the end-user reports that a swab broke at the breaking point in the baby's nasal (a (b)(6) baby) while a nurse was getting some nose sample. The nurse tried to remove the broken part by suction but failed. Two times of ct scannings failed to find the broken part, either. Yesterday, 7 days later, it was found from the baby's excrement". On the same day, copan sent a questionnaire to the distributor in order to acquire more information on patient's health and on the event for the internal investigation. On (b)(6) 2019 copan received the questionnaire completed with information provided by a specialist present at the time of the event. The following details have been reported: the swab was used for a nasopharyngeal collection to detect influenza infection. The sample collection was performed as described in the ifu of standard q influenza a/b test (diagnostic kit sd biosensor, inc. ). No pre-collection steps were performed. The patient was sedated and collaborative during the sampling. No sign of damage was visible on the swab before the use. The swab broke at the first diameter change. Following this event, on (b)(6) 2019, patient was inspected using ct and x rays and since no pieces were found, on the same day an additional ct was performed in a different hospital. No piece was found. The broken piece was discarded by feces on (b)(6) 2019. No serious injury on patient was notified. The specialist confirmed that the patient was restored.
