Event Description
|
"two weeks after the infusion port was set in the patient, there was swelling around the bag during the infusion process, there was wave motion when touching, and it was suspected that there was extravasation of liquid medicine.The infusion was stopped immediately, and the catheter was found to be damaged by angiography.The infusion port was taken out the next day.Resettled on the next day.The patient's skin was swollen and painful, and the symptoms were relieved by timely intervention.At the same time, underwent two port implantation operations.".

Batch history review: we have checked the manufacturing file of batch nr 36980773 which complies with our specifications and does not present any discrepancy.No other similar complaint has been reported to us on this batch of access ports released in july 2021.Investigation results: we did not receive the complaint sample for investigation.We received for investigation 1 picture of the explanted device.Review of the pictures of the explanted catheter: the picture shows the access port with the connection ring, as well as the catheter disconnected from the port.No defect is detectable on this picture.Conclusion: the elements we have collected to investigate this complaint file are insufficient to determined the exact device malfunction and the root cause of the reported event.This is a rare incident, no corrective action is envisaged.

Batch history review: we have checked the manufacturing file of batch nr 36980773 which complies with our specifications and does not present any discrepancy.No other similar complaint has been reported to us on this batch of access ports released in july 2021.Investigation results: we have received the involved device.The access port was sent with its connection ring and its catheter cut into two pieces.The proximal part measuring 1,5 cm is still connected to the port.The distal past of the catheter measures 13,9cm.No defect is visible on the device.Only 3 puncture marks are visible in the silicone membrane.The rupture facies between the proximal and the distal part of the catheter is clear cut.Its is shiny and show strias, linear marks done by a sharp object.Dimensional measurmenst: the returned device was measures.All the measures are complaint with the specifications.Fuctional test: an injection test was performed: - first, throught the access port and the proximal part of the catheter.- then, throught the access port and the distal part of the catheter.No leak or abnormality was noticed.The device functions normally.Conclusion: the elements we have collected show no manufacturing device.We have noticed a cut done by a sharp object but we cannot defined whan this cut was done (during implantation procédure or during explantation procedure).We cannot conclude on the exact root cause of the leakage observed.However this is no device related because no defect was detected on the returned device.No corrective action is envisaged.

Batch history review: we have checked the manufacturing file of batch nr36977974 which complies with our specifications and does not present any discrepancy.No other similar complaint was reported to us on this batch of access ports released in april 2021.Investigation results: we did not receive the complaint sample for investigation.Pictures review: we received 2 pictures for review.One picture is too dark to be conclusive.On the 2nd picture received, we can see a piece of catheter.It is too short to be the complete catheter implanted on the patient.It is contaminated by blood.The graduations are not visible on it.The catheter extremities facies are not visible on this picture.X-ray picture review: we received 1 x-ray picture.On this picture, we can see a piece of catheter located just after the subclavian pinch.This is the distal part of the catheter.The length seems to correspond to the catheter presents on the photograph.The access port housing and the proximal part of the catheter have probably already been removed as they are not visible on this image.Conclusion: the x-ray pictures show that the catheter rupture occurred in the subclavian area, this allows us to hypothesis that the catheter was crushed in the costo-clavicular space and repeated squeezing have led to catheter rupture: it is the pinch-off syndrome.However, only the examination of the explanted catheter could allow us to confirm this hypothesis.The instructions for use warn the physicians against the risk entailed by placing via the subclavian route and give advice to avoid pinch-off syndrome rupture.The incident is not imputable to the device.No corrective action is envisaged.
