Manufacturer Narrative

A representative sample was received for the purpose of our investigation a photo was received for the purpose of our investigation.The investigators were able to observe the reported failure mode in the photo provided.The batch record was reviewed, no related abnormalities were found.Investigation conclusion: investigators noted that the photo shows the catheter had been broken from at its root, and a top down view of the unit shows that the remaining portion of the catheter is not round but rather deformed.The complaint states that the catheter was broken on the second day, but behaved normally for 1 day after infusion.Because the catheter functioned normally immediately following infusion it is speculated that the failure mode did not occur as a result of the manufacturing process.However the root cause cannot be finalized without the return of the damaged unit.
