Manufacturer Narrative

As the reported device was not returned, angiodynamics is unable to perform a device evaluation.The customer's reported complaint description is confirmed based on the pictures provided.Complaint samples for same issue from same customer were returned per (b)(4) (reference reports: 1317056-2021-00144, 1317056-2021-00152, 1317056-2021-00153, and 1317056-2021-00165, respectively).The customer's reported complaint description of cloudy extension tubing is confirmed based on evaluation of returned picc complaint samples.The extension tubing was sectioned, and it was observed that a sticky film was present on the inside surface that could be wiped off with isopropyl alcohol, leaving the extension tubing clear with no evidence of degradation.The composition of this film is unknown, however, based upon the absence of any damage to the extension tubing underneath the film, it appears to be a residue or precipitate from the infused drugs.Based on the sample analysis, these devices did not malfunction.It is possible that the film observed on the id of the extension tubes was the result of instability of the etoposide mixture used/infused causing the drug to precipitate from solution as the observed film.The most likely root cause for the discoloration is drug precipitate.This is an issue of customer use of the picc for a specific patient population drug therapy and not a picc device malfunction.A review of the device history records was performed for the indicated lots for any deviations related to the reported failure mode of the complaint.The review confirms that the lots met all material, assembly and performance specifications; i.E.No ncr associated with reported failure mode.A review of the angiodynamics complaint system noted no adverse trends for this complaint type and product family.This type of complaint will continue to be monitored for trends.Reference: (b)(4).
