A device history review (dhr) for lot number 2104700029 was performed and it revealed no discrepancies that may have contributed to the reported issue.All quality assurance testing performed during manufacturing was acceptable.The quality assurance review of the visual, physical, and dimensional evaluation results indicated that the product met specification requirements.In addition, all dhrs are reviewed for accuracy prior to product release.All quality assurance testing performed during manufacturing was acceptable.The quality assurance review of the visual, physical, and dimensional evaluation results indicated that the product met specification requirements.One used catheter from lot number 2104700029 and product code id 43311 was received inside of a generic plastic bag for analysis and investigation.According to the visual inspection, the catheter showed signs of use (blood).Further analysis showed bubbles during an underwater test; the sample had a hole on the strain relief on the primary extension.The reported issue was confirmed.According to the sample analysis and the reported incident description, a probable root cause was not determined to be due to the manufacturing process as the catheter did not present any failures prior to use and was in place in the patient for 7 days before the leak was identified.Additionally, based on current control, the manufacturing site performs 100% leak and occlusion tests on the manufacturing floor prior to release.Based on all available information, a corrective or preventive action is not deemed necessary at this time.It must be noted that in-process controls (such as personnel training, incoming quality acceptance testing for raw material, 100% in process visual inspection and visual acceptance sampling are performed in the plant) are in place to prevent nonconforming product from leaving the manufacturing operations.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.
