Correction in h4: updated the manufacturing date.The reported complaint about the icy catheter (lot # 151375) leak and cracked in-luer was confirmed during visual inspection and functional testing.The probable root cause for the cracked luer could be due to a latent material defect or due to over torqueing of the luer.Visual inspection of the returned catheter was performed and found the "in" luer lock connection was cracked.Noticed blood residues in the distal luered tubings.Functional testing of the returned catheter was performed.All infusion ports and extension tubes were flushed without resistance.The returned catheter was connected to the pressurized inflation device and upon pressurizing the catheter, a water/emission/leak was observed at the "in" luer lock connection; thus confirming the reported complaint.It is unlikely that the defective catheter was shipped.During manufacturing, all catheters are 100% inspected for leaks by subjecting them to pressure testing.Only units that passed are moved to the next process.Historical complaints were reviewed for information related to the reported complaint and there was no previous history of complaint reported for the icy catheters with lot # 151375.
