Manufacturer Narrative
As the reported defective device was not returned, angiodynamics is unable to perform a device evaluation.The customer's reported complaint of the cuff retained in the patient could not be confirmed because no sample was returned for evaluation.Without receiving product to evaluate, a root cause cannot be determined.A review of the device history records was performed for the reported packaging and component lots for any deviations related to the reported defect of the complaint.The review confirms that the lots met all material, assembly, and performance specifications.The instructions for use, which is supplied to the end user with this catalog number, contains the following directions: "palpate the catheter exit tunnel to locate the cuff.Administer sufficient local anesthetic to exit site and cuff location to completely anesthetize the area.Cut sutures from suture wing.Follow hospital protocol for removal of skin sutures.Make a 2 cm incision over the cuff, parallel to the catheter.Dissect down to the cuff using blunt and sharp dissection as indicated.When visible, grasp cuff with clamp.Clamp catheter between the cuff and the insertion site.Cut catheter between cuff and exit site.Withdraw internal portion of catheter through the incision in the tunnel.Remove remaining section of catheter (i.E.Portion in tunnel) through the exit site." a review of the angiodynamics complaint system noted no trends for this complaint type and product family.This type of complaint will continue to be monitored for trends.Complaint # (b)(4).
