Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: it was reported that, a patient with leukemia needed to undergo picc chemotherapy, which required weekly picc, iv3000 1 hand 10x12cm changes, heparin cap, and a 0.9% nacl 20ml flush.The patient was treated on (b)(6) 2023, at approximately 14:30 pm, when the patient came to the hospital for a dressing change, it was found that the skin in contact with the dressing was covered with small blisters, had a yellowish exudate with crusts and the skin was red and swollen.A dexamethasone 5mg injection was immediately applied to the skin and disinfected with 5% povidone-iodine solution.A new dressing was placed, and the patient was advised to visit the dermatologist.The device was not returned for analysis.We have therefore not been able to confirm a relationship between the event and the device, or identify a definitive root cause.A lot number was provided and the batch records were reviewed.It was confirmed that the product(s) 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 complaints in the last 3 years.A clinical/medical evaluation was conducted.The information provided is insufficient to determine whether the patient¿s signs, symptoms or outcome are/were 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.The patient impact beyond that which has already been reported cannot be confirmed nor concluded.A risk management review was conducted and which mitigated the reported issue with no further action or updates required.A capa/nc/pra/hhe/field action review concluded that there are no prior escalated actions related to this product and the reported event.The ifu has been reviewed and contains comprehensive instructions on the safe operation and use of the device, including advice where sensitive or fragile skin is an issue.The probable root cause for this complaint is patient sensitivity; that the patient was sensitive to one or more of the components of the dressing, or that there was a pre-existing or concurrent medical condition that has led or contributed to the reported event.Enquiries into this matter are now complete and no further actions by smith & nephew are deemed necessary at this stage.However, we will continue to monitor for any adverse trends relating to this product range.Smith & nephew acknowledge customer concern and are continually investigating ways to develop and improve our products.
