Investigation ¿ evaluation: on 20apr2022, it was reported by a representative from ch de valence, in france, that an ultrathane pigtail multipurpose drainage catheter (rpn: ult8.5-38-25-p-6s-mdc, lot# 14524643) separated in a patient.The device was required for a nephrostomy on 13apr2022.The catheter was placed in the patient and connected to a cook connecting tube (ref: ctu14.0-30-st) and a drainage bag to collect urine.Two days after placement (15apr2022), it was noted by the operator that the shaft of the catheter, at approximately mid-point, had separated.The hub of the catheter was not separated from the catheter.The catheter was not replaced, but remained in the patient.The drainage catheter was able to be used as they were able to connect another luer lock hub.A review of the complaint history, device history record, drawing, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, quality control, and specifications of the device were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned; therefore, no physical examinations could be performed.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.In response to this incident, cook completed a review of the product device master record (dmr) and concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the device history record (dhr) for lot 14524643, discovered one recorded nonconformance possibly related to the reported difficulty for "surface defect".This device was scrapped prior to further processing.A review of the associated subassembly lots confirmed there were no relevant recorded conformances.As there are adequate inspection activities established, with objective evidence the dhr was fully executed, and there are no other lot-related complaints that have been received from the field, cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to current specification.There is no evidence that non-conforming product exists in house or in the field and cook also reviewed product labeling.The product¿s instructions for use [ifu], ¿multipurpose drainage catheter¿ [t_multi_rev5], provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: warnings: -¿if a catheter has become malpositioned or if drainage ceases, the catheter should be promptly exchanged or removed.¿ instructions for use: -¿once catheter is in desired location, remove any wire guides, trocars, or stiffeners, allowing the catheter to form its configuration.¿ how supplied: -¿upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred.¿ based on the information provided, a definitive conclusion could not be determined.Findings of this investigation revealed no evidence to suggest the device was manufactured out of specification.The investigation conclusion for this complaint is cause traced to component failure, being defined as component failure without any design or manufacturing issue.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
