Manufacturer Narrative

D10 ¿ concomitant medical product received on: 09jan2020.Investigation ¿ evaluation.It was reported that an ultrathane dawson-mueller mac-loc locking loop multipurpose drainage catheter could not drain a renal cyst.A syringe was used to attempt manually drain.The catheter was removed reinserted along the same wire guide, but drainage was still not possible.The device was removed and the cyst was drained with a needle.Cook became aware of this event upon being notified by beijing longhua shengshi tech.The patient reportedly experienced no adverse effects as a result of this incident.A review of the complaint history, device history record, drawing, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, quality control, and specifications of the device, as well as a visual inspection, functional test, and dimensional verification, were conducted during the investigation.The complainant returned one used 7.0 fr catheter.Biological matter was present, but no damage was visible.The catheter was flushed with water, which exited the sideports.The catheter was confirmed to not be occluded.Water also leaked between the cap and hub.The tubing rotated and moved back and forth within the cap.The distance between the cap and the hub was measured and determined to be out of specification.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.The proper procedures are in place to identify and prevent this failure mode prior to device distribution.The risk specifications covering mac-loc drainage catheters include both hub separation and leakage as a potential failure mode.The identified risk controls include manufacturing quality control checks and process validation.The technical files covering mac-loc drainage catheters indicate that the risks associated with these devices are acceptable when weighed against the benefits.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed.The final lot and subassembly lots revealed no related nonconformances.A complaint database search revealed five other complaints from the lot at the time of the investigation.All of the complaints concern the same failure mode.A field action assessment request (far) was previously submitted regarding this same failure mode and product family.The lot in this complaint falls within the scope of far.It concluded that field action is recommended in the form of a recall.The customer was notified of this recall.It is likely that the unsealed space between the flare and cap prevented the cyst from being drained.A capa was previously opened to address a similar issue and concluded that the main root cause was manufacturing-related.Corrective actions in the form of retraining and implementation of a gap gauge were performed.In addition, the returned device in this complaint was measured out of specification for the distance between the hub and cap.Based on the information provided, returned product evaluation, and as the reported lot was manufactured prior to corrective action implementation, it was concluded that a manufacturing and quality control deficiency contributed to this incident.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Per the quality engineering risk assessment no further action is required.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.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.
