Manufacturer Narrative
|
One 14f split stream was returned with the arterial luer and sleeve separated from the catheter.Visual inspection shows the end of the extension line where the luer was attached is stretched, but not the full length of the luer barb.The facility noted that when the device was accessed air bubbles and leaks were noted, and the catheter was removed.When the device was disinfected by the distributor the luer separated from the extension tubing.The most likely cause for this incident is that the luer was not fully seated in the extension tubing during manufacturing and this condition was missed during inspection due to the sleeve covering the luer barbs.Even though this is considered an isolated incident (no other reports of this nature have been received for this device family), medcomp has issued a corrective action request to the supplier.
