Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported that, after insulin pump therapy, the patient started experiencing redness and skin stripping about two months ago.Patient uses skin-prep wipes to prepare for cannulation site and iv3000 1 hand 6x7cm to fixate the catheter and protect insertion site, so this adverse event could have been caused by either.Patient, who has been using our products for about 20 years, also claims that quality of such products has decreased recently, so they are not fulfilling their function to protect skin as they should.Patient is now using no sting skin-prep products so the area affected area has improved and patient is now satisfied.The device was used for treatment and was returned for analysis.The returned samples showed no issues and functioned as expected.We have not been able to confirm a relationship between the event and the device or identify a definitive root cause.The batch records were reviewed and it could be confirmed that the products had progressed through a satisfactory release process which involved testing the product against the requirements of the finished product specification.There was also no issue identified during the manufacturing process that could have caused or contributed to the complaint problem.A complaint history review revealed a small number of similar instances in the last three years.A risk management review concluded that the sequence of events described in this complaint are not contained in the relevant risk files.There is insufficient information within the complaint description and further information included in this complaint to provide a causal link between events and the product therefore no update to the risk files is warranted.A clinical review concluded that the information provided is insufficient to determine whether the patient¿s symptoms, signs or outcome are due to a pre-existing or concurrent medical or surgical condition or procedure, or to an adverse reaction to or experience with the device, one or more of its components, or its intended therapeutic action.Probable root cause is that the patient experienced an allergic reaction to one of the components in the devices.As it states that the patient saw an improvement when changing to the non-sting skin preparation wipes, it is likely that the reaction was to the skin preparation wipes rather than the iv3000.The users of the reported product are advised to consult the ifu, to prevent future occurrences of the reported issue.This guide provides comprehensive instructions of the operation, use and limitations of the device, including advice on skin preparation.This investigation is now complete, with no corrective actions required.No further actions by smith and nephew are deemed necessary at this stage.However, we will continue to monitor for any adverse trends relating to this product range.Smith and nephew acknowledge customer concern and are continually investigating ways to develop and improve our products internal complaint reference number: (b)(4).
