Manufacturer Narrative

Evaluation summary: the device history record (dhr) file was reviewed and no discrepancy was found related to the failure mode reported.One decontaminated sample was received for evaluation.After performing a visual inspection of the sample received, an occlusion can be observed on the end of the pigtail and catheter assembly.The reported condition was confirmed.The analysis shows that this condition is a workmanship issue.The assembly of the pigtail (blue tube) to the catheter requires the insertion of a solvent as well as pressurized air in order to prevent the assembly from occluding.From the sample evaluation results, it can be determined that the probable root cause for this issue is air pressure missing when inserting the solvent, therefore occluding the assembly.Because there is no negative trend that indicates a potential issue of the process, this incident can be considered as an isolated event.The current process is running according to product specifications, meeting quality acceptance criteria.The manufacturing site will keep monitoring the process for any adverse trends that require immediate attention.A production notification was performed to all personnel to ensure that they are aware of the condition reported by the customer.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.
