Manufacturer Narrative

A visual inspection found that one silver-soaker catheter was returned.The returned catheter exhibited stretching just below the mid body segment.The silver-soaker catheter was returned intact however, the entire infusion segment was missing and not returned.There was evidence of stretching just below the 1st markings and continued throughout the area where the catheter breaking occur.When examined under the microscope magnified 2x, the appearance of the catheter showed the mid body and stretched segment were different in outer diameter.The investigation summary concluded that the silver-soaker catheter was received fully intact.Tensile strength was performed on the mid-body segment only and met specifications.Excessive force failure mode was chosen because during visual observation of the catheter, stretching and breakage below the 1st marking (infusion segment - not returned for investigation) was observed.The root cause for the reported broken catheter incident was not identified since tensile strength performed on the mid-body segment met specifications and it is unknown if resistance was felt during the catheter removal.All information reasonably known as of 26-oct-2018 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 event reported but is relaying the information that was provided by the user facility where the incident occurred.This product incident is documented in the avanos medical, inc.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.
