Manufacturer Narrative

Note: product reference (b)(4) is not cleared for sales in the usa, but it is similar to a product reference cleared under.#510k130576.Batch history review: batch unknown.Investigation results: the device was not returned for evaluation.No picture of the event was supplied.No thorough investigation is possible.Conclusion: the access port exteriorization is a known complication of access port implantation.Without any element for investigation it is not possible to determine the root cause of this event.The raw material used, the manufacturing, cleaning and sterilization processes have not changed in recent months/years.There is no increasing trend in the reporting of such event.The main documented root causes of exteriorisation are: - allergy, infection, important patient weight loose.- the fact that the access port housing was implanted just under the skin incision, not at one centimeter of the skin incision as recommended.The ifu specifies: vi-1-1 k) "confirm catheter patency (by ensuring that both aspiration and injection are possible), ensure that the skin incision is 1 cm from the injection site." - the fact that the access port was implanted too superficially: the ifu specifies: vi-1-1 "f) prepare the port pocket at the chosen site, the port should lie approximately 1/2 - 1 cm below the skin surface away from the injection site." - poor maintenance this is a rare incident, no corrective action is envisaged.
