Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged or unavailable.Correction: h6 - annex a.Investigation ¿ evaluation: lurie children's hospital (united states) informed cook on 01jul2021 of a broken turbo-ject® double lumen minocycline/rifampin over-the-wire power-injectable picc (rpn: upicds-4.0-ct-nt-abrm-1111, lot: 13768166) that was found to be leaking during hourly checks at bedside, around 6 weeks after insertion.The device required removal and replacement.No other adverse effects were reported.Reviews of the documentation, including the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu) and quality control procedures of the device, were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a physical examination could not be conducted.However, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure prior to distribution.A review of the device history record (dhr) for lot 13768166 found no nonconformances that could have contributed to the reported failure mode.It should be noted that there was one additional complaint associated with the final product lot number from the same user facility with the same failure.Cook also reviewed product labeling.Instructions for use (ifu) document t_upicabrmtt_rev1 [cook spectrum turbo-ject peripherally inserted central venous catheters 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 shown on the following table.Warnings: the safe and effective use of spectrum turbo-ject picc lines with power injector pressures set above 325 psi has not been established.Do not power inject if maximum injection rate cannot be verified to meet limit printed on catheter hub or extension tube.To safely use spectrum turbo-ject picc lines with a power injector, the technician/health care professional must verify: the catheter lumen has ¿ct¿ on the hub to indicate the lumen is power injectable.Prior to use that the maximum pressure limit is set at or below 325 psi and that the maximum flow rate is at or below that which is listed on the catheter.Dynamic and static pressure test results are shown in the following table.How supplied.Upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred.Evidence gathered upon review of the dmr, ifu, and design history file 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 returned product and the results of our investigation, it was concluded that the device design contributed to the reported event, as found in a previous capa investigation.The investigation further found that the devices were manufactured to specification and there was no evidence of lot-related issues the appropriate personnel have been notified.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.We 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.
