Manufacturer Narrative

After flushing four pig tempo diagnostic catheters, the physician noticed an undefinable jellylike liquid when attempting to insert the guidewire.The devices were not used in the patient.There was no reported patient injury.The products were stored and handled according to the instructions for use (ifu).There were no visible signs of device/package damage prior to use.There were no anomalies noted when the devices were taken out of the package.There was excessive force applied to the device during withdrawal from package.Neither the product nor any of the other devices used were resterilized.The devices were prepped according to instructions for use (ifu).The devices were prepped normally.There were no anomalies noted during or after the devices were prepped.No other information was reported.The device was returned for analysis.A non-sterile cath tempo 4f pig 65cm 5sh catheter was received coiled inside of a clear plastic bag, the device packaging was not received.During visual analysis, no damages or anomalies were noted.During functional analysis, a syringe was attached at the hub and the catheter was flushed.Neither resistance nor loose material was noted during the flushing procedure.A lab sample guidewire of the appropriate size was inserted into the catheter through the distal tip until it could be viewed outside of the catheter hub.The lab sample guidewire was withdrawn from the catheter.Neither anomalies nor foreign material were noted during the insertion/withdrawn test.A product history record (phr) review of lot 17816830 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The phr review does not suggest that the event reported by the customer could be related to the manufacturing process.The reported ¿catheter (body/shaft) - foreign material¿ was not confirmed.The flushing test and the insertion/withdrawn tests were performed successfully, no foreign material was noted.The reported ¿packaging/pouch/box- removal difficulty¿ could not be evaluated during the analysis due to the original packaging not being received for analysis.The exact cause of the reported events could not be conclusively determined during the analyses.Procedural/handling factors may have contributed to these events.Per the instructions for use (ifu), which is not intended as a mitigation, ¿store in a cool, dark, dry place.Do not use if package is open or damaged.Do not use the catheter if the ¿use by¿ date on the package label has expired.Do not resterilize.Exposure to temperatures above 54c (130f) may damage the catheter.Before use, flush all devices entering a blood vessel with sterile heparinized saline or a similar isotonic solution.Keep the catheter filled with either flushing solution or contrast medium while the catheter is in the vascular system and consider the use of systemic heparinization.Forcibly aspirate and flush the catheter with heparinized saline solution at least once every two minutes.¿ neither the phr review nor the product analyses suggest that the events experienced by the customer could be related to the manufacturing process; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.This is one of four (4) products involved with the reported event and the associated manufacturer report numbers are 9616099-2019-02693, 9616099-2019-02694 and 9616099-2019-02695.
