Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation ¿ evaluation: asst ovest milanese in italy informed cook of an issue with an npas-100-nt (neff percutaneous access set) from lot 14018605.The customer stated the neff hub detached from the external cannula (sheath).The separated portion of the device was retrieved from the patient¿s renal pelvis with a snare in the same procedure.The patient did not experience any adverse effects.A review of the complaint history, device history record, and quality control inspections of the device were conducted during the investigation.The customer did not return the complaint device for evaluation.A device failure analysis could not be completed.However, a document based investigation evaluation was performed.There are sufficient controls in place to detect damage prior to distribution.A review of the device history record (dhr) was also conducted as a part of the investigation to check for failure related nonconformances and additional complaints.There are no non-conformances for lot 14018605.There are no related non-conformances for relevant sheath subassembly lots.A database search revealed there is an additional complaint on this lot for the same failure (reported under medwatch report #:1820334-2021-02218).This complaint was reported from the same user facility.Additional final lots containing the same sheath subassembly lots were reviewed.Seven lots were found.No additional complaints or related nonconformances were noted from these lots.Based on this information, it is feasible to suggest that non-manufacturing-related factors contributed to the event.Considering the above information, there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in the field.A review of product labeling was conducted.This device is not packaged with instructions for use.Based on the device master record and device history record, there is no indication the complaint device was manufactured out of specification.The customer reported that the sheath kinked during the procedure.This could have led to additional force being required to withdraw the device, causing the hub to detach.However, this cannot be confirmed without additional information or examination of the complaint device.Based on the information provided, no inspection of returned product, and the results of the investigation, it was concluded component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies contributed to the event.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Per the quality engineering risk assessment no further action is required.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
