complaint description, it was reported that there was a leak on the catheter.The entire catheter was then re-inspected again under l0x magnification revealed a hole in the shaft at proximal end approximately l0mm from the funnel which resulted to leaked for drainage lumen.Such occurrence of hole on shaft is unlikely to happen.However, we had identified this similar problem in our previous investigation.Corrective action has been taken to address this issue and documented in non-conformance report number (b)(4).The complaint is confirmed that there is evidence of hole on shaft that contributed to leaking on the sample return.
