Manufacturer Narrative

The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, frequency 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 damaged 3cg stylet was inconclusive because no sample was returned for evaluation.Based on the description of the reported event, possible contributing factors include tensile (pulling) stress, attempted insertion against resistance and inserting the stylet past the tip of the catheter; however, the lack of a returned sample prevented both confirmation of the reported event and identification of a root cause(s).Consequently, this complaint is inconclusive at this time.No further action is required because the complainant event could not be related to a deficiency in product manufacture or deficiency while under correct product use.A lot history review (lhr) of rect2165 showed no other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.(b)(4).
