The investigation of the quality engineer are as follows: ¿action(s) (correction(s), corrective and preventive): 1, the review of the production documents (coating and packaging process as well), the coa of the raw materials, the bioburden test results, and the sterilization coa.Based on the customer complaint the following investigation and conclusion was made: coating process: the product was manufactured on the ik19 machine.We have checked the following production documentation (work order, shift report, parameters sheet) based on the sampling plan, the following tests were performed on the products ((b)(4)version 27.0): ¿finger test (b)(4) version 5.0: under the test, we controlled the catheters from the tip to connector, in this way the hardening of the coating is tested and if there is areas with resistance or dry spots.¿friction test (b)(4) version 5.0 : under the test we investigated the friction force on the catheter surface ¿uncoated area measurement (b)(4) version 3.0: under the test we measured the uncoated catheter length: the part of the catheter that is not coated (the connector is not include).After the coating there is a 100% visual inspection on the machine and the non-conform catheters have been rejected by the operator.Production documentation have been reviewed and no issue was discovered during the production.All tests met the requirements.The process parameters were adjusted within validated process window.- packaging process: the product was packed on the machine hh4.The following documents were checked (work order, shift report, parameters sheet) based on the sampling plan, the following tests were performed on the products ((b)(4) version 27.0): ¿pressure test (b)(4) version 4.0: under the test we investigated the quality of the weld.¿manual peel test vv-0146835 version 5.0: under the test we testing three characteristics: dot sticks to the surface during opening, the packaging split/fray during opening, measurement of the width of the welding.¿corrosion test (b)(4) version 2.0: the corrosion test indicates if there are holes in the bottom foil, pe - peel layer.¿weight measure (b)(4) version 4.0; (b)(4) version 6.0: under the test the we investigated the weight of blister.So the product got the sufficient water dose.¿product appearance after the packing there is a 100% visual inspection on the hh4 machine and the non-conform catheters have been rejected by the operator.Production documentation have been reviewed and no issue was discovered during the production.All tests met the requirements.The bioburden test results and the coa of the sterilization was met the requirements.The incoming checked the raw material's coa and released the raw material for the production process.In summary, no deviation on the production's documentation was found.¿.
