Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.Additional information: section c investigation - evaluation it was reported that a turbo-ject® double lumen minocycline/rifampin over-the-wire power-injectable picc (upicds-4.0-ct-nt-abrm-1111) from lot 10207010 burst at the 5cm mark.The failure was noted upon removal when the patient had a hematoma at the picc site.The device had to be removed.Cook became aware of this event on (b)(6) 2020 upon being notified by from crouse health hospital, inc.The patient reportedly experienced no additional adverse effects as a result of this incident.A review of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu) and quality control of the device was conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned; therefore, no physical examinations could be performed.However, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient controls are in place to detect this failure mode prior to release.A review of the design history file (dhf) found that this device is both safe and effective for its intended use.A review of the device history records (dhrs) for the reported complaint device lot (10207010) and the related catheter subassembly lots revealed no recorded non-conformances.A database search found no other events associated with the reported device lot.Cook also reviewed product labeling.Instructions for use (ifu) document [cook spectrum turbo-ject peripherally inserted central venous catheter with micropuncture peel-away introducers] is packaged with this device.The product ifu states the following in consideration of the reported failure mode: ¿intended use the cook spectrum turbo-ject picc is indicated for multiple injections of contrast media through a power injector.The maximum pressure limit setting for power injectors used with the spectrum turbo-ject picc may not exceed 325 psi and the flow rate may not exceed the maximum flow rate indicated, as showed on the following table.Precautions ¿ if lumen flow is impeded, do not force injection or withdrawal of fluids.Notify attending physician immediately.Catheter maintenance after catheter placement and prior to use, tip position and lumen patency should be confirmed by free aspiration of venous blood.If blood is not freely aspirated, catheter tip position should be immediately reevaluated by physician.If catheter is not to be used immediately, its lumen should be maintained by continuous saline or heparinized saline drip or locked with heparinized saline solution.¿ the information provided upon review of the dmr, ifu, dhr, and dhf suggests that the device was not manufactured out of specification, and that there are no nonconforming devices in house or out in the field.Based on the information provided, no product returned, and the results of the investigation, a definitive root cause has been traced to a component failure without a manufacturing or design deficiency.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.
