Manufacturer Narrative

Description of event: as reported, prior to an unknown procedure a three-way plastic stopcock was being prepared with surgical glue when it was found to leak.Another three-way plastic stopcock was then opened and being prepared in similar fashion when it, too, was found to leak.It is unknown how the procedure was completed.Investigation / evaluation: a visual inspection and functional testing of the returned device was conducted.A document based investigation was also performed including a review of complaint history, device history record, documentation, drawings, the instructions for use, manufacturing instructions, quality control data, and specifications.Two stopcocks received prior to use.Inspection found the devices are cracked.The two devices returned are for 308549 (qty 1) and 308550(qty 1).A review of the device history record found no non-conformances related to the reported failure mode.Because there are no related non-conformances, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot related complaints that have been received from the field, it was concluded that there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in field.A trackwise search revealed one other complaints associated to the lot number: 8016146.It was reported by the same customer for the same failure mode, reported under (b)(4).A capa was opened due to consistent complaint history of this product surrounding cracking and subsequent leaking of stopcocks.The root cause of cracking / leaking stopcocks was determined to be stopcock stems molded of nylon 6 have the potential to absorb moisture resulting in an increase in diameter raising the potential for cracking of the stopcock body.Based on this result of the clinical effects analysis, the decision was made to no longer pursue corrective actions within capa.Cook has concluded that the conclusion from previously completed root cause investigation aligns with the conclusion of this complaint.The stopcock stems molded of nylon 6 have the potential to absorb moisture resulting in an increase in diameter raising the potential for cracking of the stopcock body contributed to this incident.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is warranted.Cook will continue to monitor this device via the complaints database for similar complaints.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
