Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was unavailable for evaluation as it remains implanted in the patient.The contract manufacturer of the port and lumen conducted a review of the manufacture records for the lot numbers reported.Their investigation showed the devices were manufactured according to specification with no non-conformances or abnormalities.The last step in the manufacture process includes a 100% leak test.This test would have revealed a leak or weakness if it had existed at the time of manufacture.Without an evaluation of the device involved we are unable to determine the cause or factors that may have contributed to this event.Possible complications listed in the instructions for use include: catheter or port related sepsis, extravasation, catheter occlusion.Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
