Manufacturer Narrative

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.Correction: h6 - annex a.Investigation ¿ evaluation.It was reported by a representative of (b)(6) that on (b)(6) 2023 an ultrathane mac-loc locking loop multipurpose drainage catheter (rpn: ult10.2-38-25-p-6s-clm-rh; lot:15122512) separated at the hub after placement.The patient had a drainage catheter inserted during a nephrostomy procedure.After placement, the drainage catheter came apart in the patient's bed.A provided photo shows the device separated where the catheter shaft meets the cap.Therefore, the drainage catheter was replaced with a new, like device.No other adverse effects were reported for this incident.Reviews of documentation including the complaint history, device history record (dhr), quality control procedures, manufacturing instructions (mi), and instructions for use (ifu), as well as a visual inspection of the returned device, were conducted during the investigation.One used and damaged drainage catheter except the mac-loc adaptor was returned to cook for evaluation.Upon visual inspection, the flare exhibited no sings of being slated and or out of round.No tears were observed.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the dhrs for the reported complaint device lot 15122512 and the related subassembly lots revealed no relevant non-conformances.To date, a further search of our database records revealed no other complaints associated with the reported lot number.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The ifu (t_multi2_rev1,ultrathane mac-loc locking loop biliary drainage catheter) packaged with the device instructs the following in relation to the reported failure mode for the product to be inspected prior to use to ensure no damage has occurred.The information provided upon review of the dmr, ifu, dhr and device evaluation suggests that the device was not manufactured out of specification, and that there are no nonconforming devices in house or out in the field.Based on the information provided, inspection of the returned device, and the results of the investigation, the cause of this event was determined to be component failure, without any design or manufacturing issue.The user did not identify any damage during initial placement.It is possible that the catheter underwent excessive force or tension while the patient was in the bed in which patient activity likely contributed to the separation.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.
