The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, trend analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), applicable fmea documents, labeling, and applicable manufacture records.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a leaking catheter was unconfirmed because the problem could not be reproduced.The product returned for evaluation was one 4fr s/l groshong nxt clearvue catheter.The sample was received assembled with a two-piece connector.Usage residues were observed throughout the sample.The extension tubing markings were partially worn.The catheter terminated approximately 3cm distal of the connector strain-relief sleeve.Microscopic inspection of the distal end of the sample revealed striations typical of a sharp instrument cut.An attempt to infuse water through the sample using a12ml syringe revealed the sample to be patent to infusion with no observed leaks.No leaks were observed during sustained hydraulic pressurization of the sample.Microscopic inspection of the sample did not reveal any evidence of leakage.No deficiencies were discovered during evaluation of the returned sample.Consequently this complaint is unconfirmed at this time.
