Additional Manufacturer Narrative

A returned product evaluation was completed.Lot and case details were reviewed.The event description states aortic port would persistently aspirate air and blood when in body.Blood leakage was noted at the hub.Upon removal of the catheter, the inner lumen detached from the outer layer/lumen.Separation of the inner and outer lumen was confirmed.No adhesive was observed under the strain relief.No other damages were noted on the shafts of both inner and outer lumen.Additional information was requested from the account.A response was received.Account stated that all of the catheter was retrieved from the patient without incident.The outcome of the procedure was good and completed with alternative equipment.No patient injury observed.Based on the product evaluation, there is likely a bond issue between the distal strain relief and the outer lumen due to a manufacturing/process deficiency.A non-conforming (nce) was initiated to investigate.Nce concluded that the root cause was undeterminable but through process review it was noted that the cleaning step for the strain relief does not specify the full length of the strain relief which could have contributed to a weaker bond if the strain relief was not thoroughly cleaned.Langston devices were removed from field through z-1747-2020 and z-0112-2021.Customer was confirmed to be in scope and was communicated multiple times for return.The scope of the internal corrective action related to the recall includes updates to the manufacturing process.
