(b)(4).The customer returned one opened cvc with multiple components, including a spring wire guide and an introducer needle, for evaluation.The catheter was not returned.Visual and functional inspection of the catheter could not be performed as it was not returned for analysis.A device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.The customer report of a catheter leak in use could not be confirmed by complaint investigation of the returned sample.The customer did not return the catheter, therefore no visual, dimensional, or functional analysis could be performed.The root cause for this complaint could not be determined without the complete sample returned for analysis.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for complaints of this nature.
