Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unchanged, unknown or unavailable.D10 ¿ product received on: 25aug2020.Investigation ¿ evaluation: (b)(6) hospital in (b)(6) informed cook of an ultrathane dawson-mueller mac-loc locking loop multipurpose drainage catheter that leaked during a drainage procedure.The leakage was reported to have occurred from the hub and mac-loc lever after placement when the operator injected contrast.The patient did not experience any adverse effects.A review of the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, quality control, visual inspection, functional test, and dimensional verification, were conducted during the investigation.The customer returned one used catheter.There is biological matter throughout.The mac-loc lever is unlocked.The device does not leak when flushed with water.The distance between the cap and the hub was determined to be within specification.There is less that one adapter thread showing.There is no evidence the device was manufactured 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.Inspection activities are currently in place to prevent the release of non-conforming product related to the reported failure mode.The ifu supplied with the mac-loc drainage catheters instruct that the product should be inspected prior to use to ensure no damage has occurred.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed for the final lot.No related nonconformances were found.Additionally, a complaint database search of the lot was conducted.No additional complaints on the lot were identified.Based on this information, there is no evidence of nonconforming material in house or in the field.A capa was previously opened to address this failure and identified manufacturing-related causes.The capa implemented corrective actions in response to this investigation.This complaint lot was manufactured prior to implementation of these actions.Based on the information provided, examination of returned product, manufacture date of the device, and the results of the investigation, cook concluded it is possible that quality control and manufacturing deficiencies contributed to this failure.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.
