Manufacturer Narrative

One 2.6f double lumen vascu-picc was returned for evaluation.The lumen length is 50 cm indicating the lumen has not been trimmed.A functional examination was performed by flushing each lumen with water using a 10cc syringe.When flushing the lumen with the white clamp, a leak was noted at just proximal to the 24cm mark.Under magnification the damage to the lumen appears to be "v" shaped.When flushing the lumen with the red clamp, no leaks were noted.The contract manufacturer conducted a review of the manufacture records for the lot number reported.Their investigation revealed the device was manufactured and inspected according to specification with no non-conformances or abnormalities.The manufacture process includes a 100% leak test performed as a last step in the process.This test would have detected any leaks, holes, or weak spots if it had existed at the time of manufacture.We are unable to determine the cause or factors that may have contributed to this event.
