Manufacturer Narrative

H10: manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the first complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.However, device history record review was conducted and there was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: one powerport mri isp attached to a groshong catheter was returned for evaluation.Functional, gross visual and microscopic visual evaluations were performed.The investigation is confirmed for the reported fluid leak, fracture and the identified deformation due to compressive stress issue, as a circumferential split was noted approximately 3.5 cm from the distal end of the cath-lock and the edges of the circumferential split were jagged with smooth break surfaces.Upon infusion of the port body with attached catheter segment, a leak from the circumferential split was observed.The identified break is typical of flexural fatigue, which is due to the repetitive, cyclic kinking of the catheter.The definitive root cause could not be determined based upon available information.Labeling review: a review of product labeling documentation (e.G.Procedural instructions, indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, contraindications, nursing guide, and unit label) did not find any product labeling inadequacy.H10: d4 (expiry date: 10/2020), g3.H11: section a through f ¿ the information provide by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
