Product reference 4430425 is not cleared for sales in the usa, but it is similar to the product reference 5430425 cleared under #510k 130576.Batch history review: the manufacturing file was reviewed.The sterilisation file and the lab test results have been checked.They are compliant with the specifications and no abnormality was detected during production.No other complaint has been reported on this access port batch sold since january 2017.Investigation: the involved device was discarded and is not available for evaluation.Conclusion: without element, no conclusion can be drawn.However it is worth noting that several factors can contribute to this type of incident: too superficial implantation of the port, allergy to any of the materials used in the port, incision over the port septum, leakage of product from the port, particularly chemotherapy drugs, infection, radiation over the port site (leads to fragile skin),.It is an isolated case, no corrective action is envisaged.
