Manufacturer Narrative

The pre-curved duo-flow catheter was received for evaluation.A visual examination of the device revealed no obvious damage to the device, however there is no printing on the hub and some of the printing on the id tags is missing.A functional test of the device revealed a hole in the tubing of the red extension at the hub joint.The hole is only visible when the tubing is bent away from the hub.A supplier corrective action request was issued to the contract manufacturer.The contract manufacturer conducted an evaluation of the device, as well as a review of the manufacture records for the lot number reported.Their investigation also confirmed the complaint as a leak was noted where the hub and extension line connect.The information printed on the id rings of the device were also degraded.A review of the manufacture records revealed the device was manufactured according to specification with no non-conformances or abnormalities.The manufacture process includes a 100% leak test of the finished product.This test would have detected such a leak if it had occurred during the manufacture process.The device was reported to be implanted for 10 days prior to the reported event.A definitive root cause cannot be determined but is most likely not manufacture related.Based on historic data this is not a systemic issue and is considered an isolated incident.This type of event will be trended through the complaint handling process.Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.If information is obtained that was not avail able for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
