Additional information h2, h3, h6.Investigation conclusion the customer reported the nasojejunal tube was uncovered and the exit of the guide was tested, but there was difficulty in carrying out this action.The guide does not come out so insertion was not performed.The report for product 8884721088, entrflx 10fr 43in w/sty yport, with lot number 2028762864 was investigated.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed, and no abnormal process conditions were present during the manufacturing of the product that could have led to the reported defect from customer complaint.The dhr review showed that all acceptance criteria inspections per established sampling levels were within acceptable limits during the production process.Lot and failure mode trending was reviewed, and no related adverse trends were identified.The reported product was discarded and thus not returned for evaluation; however, a photograph was provided.Visual inspection of the photograph was unable to confirm the reported product failure.During the investigation, a review through the manufacturing process was conducted.In general, all process and controls were found properly followed, including sub-assemblies, finished product assembly and packaging.There were no abnormal conditions found that could trigger the reported condition.The most likely root cause indicates that this issue could occur due to the inadequate use of the procedure if the instructions for use are not followed.A failure to activate the hydromer makes difficult to remove the stylet from the feeding tube.Please refer to the ifu instructions for the proper procedure for insertion of the feed tube and extraction of the stylet: "using a syringe, inject approximately 10 cc of water into the tube to activate the hydromer coating".Additional action will not be taken at this time.This complaint will be used for monitoring and trending purposes.
