Investigation results: the complaint of material on the catheter tip was confirmed from the photograph that was provided for investigation; however, the source and composition of the material could not be determined.The photo showed a light colored material on the external surface of the catheter near the tip.It could not be determined if the material was non-foreign matter such as lubrication or catheter material or how and when it was introduced.Without the physical sample, an analysis of the material could not be completed.A review of the inspection records and quality/manufacturing controls for the implicated lot indicated no issues with the manufacturing process.Manufacturing controls are in place to mitigate the occurrence of this type of failure.The complaint has been documented and will continue to be monitored as part of ongoing efforts to identify potential manufacturing related issues.
