Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The device was not returned for investigation.The customer did not provide a lot number; therefore, a device history record review was performed based upon a lot number from the sales history data of the customer.No relevant findings were identified.The report of a catheter related allergic reaction was confirmed based on the customer report.The customer confirmed that the patient had an allergy/sensitivity to chlorhexidine.The labeling provided with the coated catheter states "the arrowg+ard blue antimicrobial catheter is contraindicated for patients with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, silver sulfadiazine and/or sulfa drugs." therefore, based on the reported event and customer confirmation of the patient having an allergy , unintentional use error (patient condition) likely caused or contributed to this event.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
