Manufacturer Narrative

D10 ¿ product received on: 18jun2019.Investigation ¿ evaluation.A review of the complaint history, device history record, drawing, instructions for use (ifu), quality control, and specifications of the device, as well as a visual inspection and dimensional verification were conducted during the investigation.The customer returned a used catheter, metal cannula, and needle.There was no difficulty removing or introducing the cannula through the catheter.All relevant dimensions including cannula outer diameter and catheter endhole inner diameter were measured to be within specification.There is a small area at the distal tip of the catheter along the outer edge of the loop that appears to have been punctured by the trocar stylet.It is feasible to suggest that the needle may have caught on this hole during advancement, preventing it from reaching the endhole of the catheter.This suggests that the cannula was not advanced far enough into the catheter before advancing the stylet, piercing the catheter instead of straightening it.With the puncture hole made, it may have made it difficult for the stylet to reach the distal end of the catheter without encountering the puncture hole.There was also a slight kink noted on the cannula, which may have contributed to the reported difficulty in withdrawing the stylet.It is likely that unintended use error resulted in the puncture.Additionally, a document based investigation evaluation was performed.The device master record showed no gaps in production or processing controls.Sufficient controls are in place to detect this failure mode prior to release.A review of the device history record for the product lot and related subassemblies showed three related nonconformances, but all nonconforming product was scrapped and quality control procedures were performed on all devices in the lot.A database search revealed no other complaints under this lot number at the time of this investigation.The product¿s design history file shows evidence of risk controls in place to meet design requirements related to this failure mode.Compiling this information, nonconforming product is not suspected in house or in the field.Based on the information provided, the examination of returned product and the results of the investigation, the root cause was concluded to be unintended use error.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the quality engineering risk assessment no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
