Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information: h6 the actual complaint product was returned for evaluation.Product packaging was not received.The product does not contain a lot number identification.The sample was examined in a well-lit area.The 2-port enfit connector is attached at the proximal end of the tubing.The connector does not exhibit visible damage.The connection appears to be secure.There is evidence of ballooning of the tubing.Central to the ballooned area, the tubing is severed.The distal portion was not returned.The outside of the tubing is discolored, becoming darker nearer to the ballooned area.The print on the tubing is faded and cannot be read, even under magnification.Water was infused through the central port, using an enfit syringe.The water flowed without restriction.The root cause of the reported issue could not be conclusively determined; however, the investigation noted this seemed to be a user-related problem since as per the instructions for use (ifu), vigorous syringe force should not be used to irrigate, administer liquids, or unblock the tube.Per incident comments, the device was in use for a period of time (60 days); which, indicates that the device did not show this defect at the time of placement and the tube performed as intended.All information reasonably known as of 11 sep 2023 has been included in this health authority report.Should additional information be obtained, a follow-up health authority report will be provided.The information provided by avanos medical inc.Represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to avanos medical inc.Avanos medical inc.Has no independent knowledge of the reported event but is relaying the information provided by the user facility where the incident occurred.This product incident is documented in the avanos medical complaint database and identified as complaint (b)(4).This information is submitted pursuant to 21cfr803, in compliance with the medical device reporting requirement and should not be considered to be an admission that an avanos medical inc.Product is defective or caused serious injury.
