(b)(4).The customer returned one 3-l cvc catheter for analysis.Signs of use in the form of biological material was observed on the extension lines.The separated portion of the distal extension line was not returned.Visual inspection confirmed the distal luer hub separated from the distal extension line.The separation point was rough and jagged.The customer report of an extension line separation could be confirmed through visual inspection of the returned sample.The distal luer hub separated from its extension line.However, without the luer hub returned for analysis, the point of separation could not be determined.Based on the customer report, the incorrect material number, and the missing luer hub, the root cause could not be determined.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
