Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation ¿ evaluation: it was reported by grey nuns hospital that a turbo-ject® double lumen over-the-wire power-injectable picc (part number upicds-5.0-ct-otw-st-1111, lot number 14005688) had a hole in picc.The patient of undisclosed gender and age underwent a picc line insertion procedure.The picc line was placed and then the line was attempted to be flushed.At this time a hole was noticed in the line.The picc line was removed and replaced with a new one that worked correctly.A review of the documentation including the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu) and quality control, as well as a visual inspection and functional test of the returned device was conducted during the investigation.One used turbo-ject® double lumen over-the-wire power-injectable picc was returned for evaluation.No holes were visible upon inspection.The white hub was flushed with 10ml of water, and after injection of 5ml, a small leak was seen in the tubing distal to the purple manifold with suture wings.Under magnification, the leak revealed a small straight cut in the tubing, which was observed to the source of the leak in the white hub¿s lumen.A few smaller indents were also seen in the tubing.Additionally, 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 mode prior to distribution.A review of the device history record (dhr) for lot 14005688 found no related nonconformances that could have contributed to the reported failure mode.It should be noted that there were no other complaints associated with this lot number.As there are no related non-conformances, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot related complaints that have been received from the field, it was concluded that there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in field.The instructions for use (ifu) provides the following information related to the reported failure mode: warnings -the safe and effective use of turbo-ject picc lines with power injector pressure 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.Precautions -if lumen flow is impeded, do not force injection or withdrawal of fluids.Notify attending physician immediately.Catheter maintenance ¿.If catheter is not to be used immediately, its lumen should be maintained by continuous saline or heparinized saline drip or locked with a catheter locking solution.Note: if microclave or other needless adapters approved for saline only lock are used, saline only catheter lock may be used.Catheter heparinization should be determined by institutional protocol and clinical judgement.Heparin concentrations of 10 units/ml to 100 units/ml have been reported adequate to maintain lumen patency.Catheter lock should be reestablished after every use or at least every 24 hours if unused.Before using catheter lumen already locked with heparin, lumen should be flushed twice the indicated lumen volume using normal saline.Lumen should be flushed with normal saline between administration of different infusates.After use, lumen should be again be flushed with twice the indicated lumen volume using normal saline before reestablishing catheter lock.Strict aseptic technique must be adhered to while using and maintaining catheter.Instructions for use 10.Secure the catheter to the skin, dress in the standard fashion based on the information provided, examination of the returned product and the results of our investigation, a definitive cause for the event could not be established.It was not possible to rule out procedural related factors as contributing to the complaint.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.
