Event Description

As reported by angiodynamics' distributor in (b)(4), blue non-vented port protector cap connected to stopcock end port fitting should have been a vented white port protector cap.The non-vented cap possibly compromises a sterile pathway for this device during the sterilization process.This one unit was found during 100% incoming inspection at the distributor and had not been distributed to a hospital.

Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the device history records was performed for the reported packaging lot 5319428 for any deviations related to the reported defect of the complaint.The review confirms that the lot met all material, assembly and performance specifications.A review of the recent angiodynamics complaint report was performed for the stopcock/manifold product family and the failure mode " cap incorrectly constructed/assembled." no adverse trend was indicated.The sample was not returned to angiodynamics, however a photo was provided which confirmed the reported issue: the incorrect port protector was attached to the end port of the stopcock.The shipment of devices from lot 5319428 shipped to the reported distributor consisted on (b)(4) units.(b)(4).The root cause of the incorrect cap attachment has been determined to be a manufacturing assembly error in which responsible employees failed to properly attach the components and verify the proper attachments per the drawing and packaging op.Codes.Packages are 100% visualized for this type of non-conformance and the employees who packaged the affected lot did not identify the non-conforming unit during their inspection.In an effort to heighten awareness of the performance of our products in the field, recent complaints are reviewed in a weekly meeting with the entire department.All responsible packaging employees have been retrained on the applicable procedures.(b)(4).
