Manufacturer Narrative

Our product evaluation lab received one model x3820sjd catheter.The customer report of leakage issue was not able to be confirmed.No visible inconsistency was observed from returned catheter during visual examination.All thru-lumens were found to be patent and did not leak.It was able to attach returned suture loop and box clamp on catheter body without problem.An engineering evaluation was performed to assess for any manufacturing related processes which could be correlated to the complaint.No defect was found; therefore a product non-conformance or device failure could not be confirmed and there is no evidence that supports or confirms the failure mode is associated to a manufacturing/design defect.The lot number was not provided thus a device history record was not reviewed.Complaint histories for all reported events are reviewed against trending control limits on a monthly basis and any excursions above the control limits are assessed and documented as a part of the monthly review.Corrections to the h6 codes type of investigations, investigation findings, and investigation conclusions were made.
