The bactiseal catheter (id (b)(6) was not returned for evaluation (as per customer, product not available) and lot number information has not been provided; therefore, an evaluation of the device could not be performed, and device history record (dhr) could not be reviewed.The root cause(s) of the reported issue could not be determined.However, a probable root cause for the reported complaint is due to the connector at the distal end that may have been damaged during placement.Also possibly biological debris interfering with the device.If additional relevant information becomes available in the future, this complaint will be reopened, and the respective evaluation performed.Trends will be monitored for this and similar issues.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
