Manufacturer Narrative

The following fields were updated due to additional information: d.9.Device available for eval?: yes d.9.Returned to manufacturer on: 10/26/2021 h.6.Investigation: a device history review was conducted for lot number 1111431.Our records show that this is the only instance of this issue occurring in this production batch.According to the sampling plan applied for product performance, this lot was accepted and released without defects being noted during the final assembly or visual inspections.Additionally a sample was provided to our facility to aid in our investigation.Our team of engineers have reviewed the device and noted that the tubing exhibited a whitening of the catheter tubing near the break.The issue has been confirmed.Unfortunately the returned device could not be subject to functional testing due to the damage sustained; in lieu of the affected device, functional testing was performed on retention samples for this lot, the results of these show that the tested units performed within product specifications.Based on the whitening of the tubing our engineers believe that the most likely root cause for this event is related to the application of force during the period of time that the tubing remained in the patient or during the attempt to remove the tubing from the puncture site.See h.10.
