Correction: h6 - med device problem code.Investigation ¿ evaluation.It was reported by lurie children¿s hospital, usa that a turbo-ject® double lumen minocycline/rifampin over-the-wire power-injectable picc (rpn: upicds-4.0-ct-nt-abrm-1111; lot: 13755487) leaked.The device was required by a 27-year-old female patient in the pediatric intensive care unit (picu) for infusing total parenteral nutrition (tpn), epinephrine, and calcium chloride at the bedside.The picc was placed on 01jul2021 and secured to the patient with sutures (covidien, dermalon monofilament nylon 3.0, ref# 8886175641), a clear adhesive dressing (cardinal health, transparent dressing 4 x 4.75, ref# td-26c), and locking catheter securement device (tidi products, grip lok- universal securement device, ref# 3200s).On 22jul2021, the device was flushed with saline prior to a scan when the user noted a leak.After discovering the failure, the patient was taken to interventional radiology where the device was replaced.No other adverse effects to the patient were reported.It was noted that power injection was not used.It was also noted that this is the second broken line for this patient.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, no physical examination could be conducted.A photo provided by the customer depicts partial separation of the extension tube from the orange hub.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient controls are in place to detect this failure mode prior to release.The design history files (dhf) were reviewed, and the risks associated with these devices are acceptable when weighed against the benefits.A review of all associated device history records confirmed there were no relevant recorded nonconformances.To date, a further search of our database records discovered 5 additional complaints associated with the reported lot number.All of the additional complaints were from the same user facility, three of which were for the identical reported failure.While there are additional complaints on this lot, there is currently no evidence of manufacturing deficiency.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 peripherally inserted central venous catheter (picc) sets are indicated for short- or long-term use for venous pressure monitoring, blood sampling, administration of drugs and fluids, and for use with power injectors for delivery of contrast in ct studies¿ 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 catheters with a power injector, the technician/health care professional must verify: 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.How supplied: upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred.The information provided upon review of the dmr, ifu, dhr and dhf, suggests the device was manufactured to specification.There is no evidence of nonconforming material in house or in the field.Based on the information provided, no returned product and the results of our investigation, it was concluded that the cause of the failure could be attributed to an inadequate design change validation.A previous capa investigation found that the root cause was related to inadequate flexural strength in a previous hub design change.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.
