Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Complaint verification testing could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.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 instructions for use provided with this kit states, "the arrowg+ard blue antimicrobial catheter is contraindicated for patients with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine acetate , silver sulfadiazine, and/or sulfa drugs." the report of a catheter related allergic reaction was confirmed based on the customer report.The labeling provided with the coated catheter states "the arrowg+ard blue antimicrobial catheter is contraindicated for patients with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine acetate , silver sulfadiazine, and/or sulfa drugs." the patient was confirmed to have a chlorhexidine allergy two months prior to the event.Therefore, based on the reported event and confirmation of the patient having a known allergy, intentional use error (not per ifu) likely caused or contributed to this event.A customer in-service has been requested to further educate the customer.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
