Investigation summary: device/batch history record review showed the lot was built and packaged on nfa line 2 from (b)(6) 2017 through 25oct2017 for the quantity of 383,050ea.All required challenge samples and testing during the build of the catheters was performed per specifications, in accordance with the in-process sampling plans.A related qn for ¿failed retraction¿ was initiated; disposition of the product, root cause and corrective action were applied according to the quality control plan.End user risk analysis (eura) review indicates causes of the difficult retraction include the washer binding on the cannula, inadequate lubrication, and excessive interference with the septum.None of these issues were confirmed upon investigation as the provided sample exhibited a smooth retraction.Visual analysis observations and testing: received 1 nexiva 22ga used unit along with a piece top of web (packaging) from lot number 7290663.All components were present and intact.Visual/microscopic evaluation showed no physical-mechanical damage was observed on any of the components of the unit.No traces of adhesive were present on any area of the unit.Simulation test performed inn an attempt to recreate the customer¿s experience.The unit successfully disengaged with minor grinding felt.The needle was measured in three different areas and the average measurement was.0225 (acceptable per specification).The specification for od as per drawing is.0223-/+.0003.The large hole of the retaining washer measured at 0.0236, which met specification that is 0.0232 +/- 0.0005.No physical-mechanical damage was found on any of the components of the unit and the needle successfully disengaged without resistance.Although minor grinding was felt, the unit successfully disengaged without resistance during simulation, since no physical-mechanical damage was observed and the cannula and washer were within specification; the root cause related to the reported incident could not be determined.A formal corrective action will not be initiated at this time.Customer complaint trends are evaluated on a monthly basis.If the trend of a specific type of complaint warrants a formal corrective action, resources will be assigned at that time.
