Manufacturer Narrative

H10: manufacturing review: a lot history record could not be completed as the lot number was not provided.Investigation summary: one 19cm soft-cell d/l catheter was returned for evaluation.Functional, gross visual and microscopic visual were performed.Two photos were also provided and reviewed.The investigation is confirmed for catheter fracture and external leak, as a small partial fracture was identified at the connection between the bifurcation and catheter shaft.The edges of the fracture were observed to be jagged.Leaking was observed at the partial fracture during in-lab functional testing.The investigation is unconfirmed for material deformation, as no material deformation was identified at the site of the partial fracture.Although a definitive root cause could not be determined, excessive/repeated stresses at the bifurcation-catheter shaft connection could have potentially caused or contributed to the reported event, as the edges of the fracture at the connection are consistent with catheter tearing.Labeling review: a review of product labeling documents (e.G., procedural instructions, indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, contraindications, nursing guide, and unit label) showed that the product labeling is adequate.
