Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.Investigation ¿ evaluation: primary children's hospital (united states) informed cook that on 25feb2022 the picc line in a upics-3.0-ct-nt-abrm-1110 (spectrum turbo-ject antibiotic power injectable picc) from lot 13724268 was broken.The device was rewired by the team.It was reported that the incident resulted in initial or prolonged hospitalization and caused temporary harm.No other adverse effects were reported for this incident.Reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), quality control, and instructions for use (ifu) were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned; therefore, no physical examinations could be performed.However, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution a review of the dhr for the reported complaint device lot 13724268 and related subassembly lots ic13504651 and ic13537179 revealed no recorded non-conformances relevant to the failure mode.A database search for complaints on the reported lot found four additional complaints reported from the field from this customer, primary children¿s hospital.All four complaints have the same failure, and the investigations concluded the product issues were attributed to a capa related to device design.Based on the available information, cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to specification and that there is no evidence suggesting nonconforming product exists either in house or in field.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The product ifu (t_upicabrm_rev2) ¿cook spectrum turbo-ject peripherally inserted central venous catheters with micropuncture peel-away introducers¿ provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: intended use: ¿the maximum pressure limit setting for power injectors used with the spectrum turbo-ject picc may not exceed 325 psi and the flow rate may not exceed the maximum flow rate indicated, as shown on the following table.¿ warnings ¿-the safe and effective use of turbo-ject picc lines with power injector pressures set above 325 psi has not been established.-do not power inject if maximum injection rate cannot be verified to meet limit printed on catheter hub or extension tube.-to safely use turbo-ject picc lines with a power injector, the technician/health care professional must verify prior to use that the maximum pressure limit is set at or below 325 psi and that the maximum flow rate is at or below that which is listed on the catheter.Dynamic and static pressure test results are shown in the following table.[3fr single hub has a 0.52 ml priming volume, 2ml/sec labeled flow rate, 123 psi maximum flow, 249 psi 37 degrees celsius average static burst water pressure, 237-258 psi 37 degrees celsius range static burst pressure.] *maximum flow rate pressures are determined with pump safety cut-off set at 325 psi, using contrast media with a viscosity of 11.8 cp.**static burst pressure is the failure point of the catheter when totally occluded.Warning: power injector machine pressure limiting feature may not prevent over pressurization of an occluded catheter.¿ precautions -if lumen flow is impeded, do not force injection or withdrawal of fluids.Notify attending physician immediately.-patient movement can case catheter tip displacement.Catheters places via an antecubital vein have shown tip movement of up to 10 cm with motion of the extremity.-catheter size should be as small as the use will allow.Instructions for use power injection procedure ¿2.Remove any injection/needless caps from the spectrum turbo-ject picc.3.Attach a 10ml (or larger) syringe filled with sterile normal saline to the hub of the extension tube to be used for power injection.4.Ensure adequate blood return and flush catheter vigorously with the entire 10 ml of sterile normal saline to ensure lumen patency.Warning: failure to ensure patency of the catheter lumen prior to injection may result in catheter failure.5.Remove syringe and attach power injection device to the catheter using the manufacturer¿s recommendations.6.Conduct study using the power injector, making sure not to exceed the maximum flowrate or pressure limit for the catheter.7.Disconnect the power injection device and flush the catheter again with 10 ml of sterile normal saline.8.Place a new injection/needleless cap on the spectrum turbo-ject picc, flush and lock the catheter with saline or heparinized saline per institutional protocol.¿ how supplied supplied sterilized by ethylene oxide gas in peel-open packages.Intended for one-time use.Sterile if packaging is unopened or undamaged.Do not use the product if there is doubt as to whether the product is sterile.Store in a dark, dry, cool place.Avoid extended exposure to light.Upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred.¿ based on the available information, no device return, and the results of the investigation, cook determined the root cause for this event is device design.Appropriate measures have been taken to address this failure mode.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.A capa was previously opened to further investigate this failure mode.Corrective actions have since been implemented following the manufacture of this device.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
