Manufacturer Narrative

Two pulse oximeter probe wraps were received in for evaluation.One of the products appears to be the older model as it has a posey name on the hook fastener tape, and the other one appears to be the current model.Signs of excessive use observed on both returned products.These signs include the white nylon is peeling off and the company name and product number were faded or no longer visible.Since the white nylon was no longer attached to the blue foam material, the product is non-functional and will not perform as intended.A review of product drawing revealed that there was no change to the foam material since august of 2016.The device history record (dhr) cannot be reviewed as there is no lot number provided.A review of complaint history database did not reveal a similar issue against this device for the past 2 years indicating that this complaint is an isolated event.Some products from the current inventory were pulled in an effort to replicate the reported issue.These products came from the lot number 2265t056.The white nylon did not come off even though the hook fastener were attached to the white nylon several times.For that reason, the reported issue cannot be replicated.The white nylon material has been identified as the failure; however, there is no evidence that a manufacturing non-conformity contributed to the reported issue, and it is likely that the possible root cause for this deficiency is wear-and-tear, moisture exposure, and other effects of repeated use and age.The instructions for use (ifu) were reviewed and determined to provide adequate instructions and warning for the safe and effective use of the device.The ifu states make sure your patient has stable peripheral vascular function before you place a pulse oximeter sensor.Secure the sensor loosely with the posey pulse oximeter probe wrap and never wrap it tightly.Check the site immediately after applying the sensor to ensure that circulation is adequate.Change the pulse oximeter site every 2 hours, or according to your institution¿s protocol.Closely monitor infants or elderly adult patients with fragile skin.Make sure closure tab does not contact patient¿s skin.Therefore, no corrective or preventive actions are necessary.All complaints are trended and reviewed by management on a monthly basis.As part of this monthly review, any excursion above the control limits for this failure mode will be assessed, documented and acted upon as warranted.Manufacturer reference file (b)(4).
