Manufacturer Narrative

As the reported device was not returned, angiodynamics is unable to perform a device evaluation.The customer's reported complaint description of midline device leaked at the junction of the extension leg tubing and the hub bifurcation cannot be confirmed since no complaint sample was returned.Without receiving product for evaluation, we are unable to definitively determine a root cause for this incident.A review of the device history records was performed for the indicated lots for any deviations related to the reported failure mode of the complaint.  the review confirms that the lots met all material, assembly and performance specifications; i.E.No ncr associated with reported failure mode.Labeling review: the directions for use (dfu), that is supplied in the reported kit contains information for the end user to reference in order to maintain the integrity of the catheter.The information that is provided includes, but is not limited to the following precautions and warnings: do not use if sterile barrier is damaged.If damage is found, call your navilyst medical representative.Inspect prior to use to verify that no damage has occurred during shipping.Do not use if package is opened or damaged.Do not fully insert catheter up to suture wing.Do not use the catheter with chemicals that are incompatible with any of its accessories, as catheter damage may occur.Acetone and polyethylene glycol-containing ointments should not be used with polyurethane catheters, as these may cause failure of the device.It is recommended that only luer lock accessories be used with the bioflo picc with endexo technology.Repeated over-tightening may reduce hub connector life.Do not use hemostats to secure or remove devices with luer lock hub connections.Catheter removal: to remove catheter, grasp catheter between suture wing and insertion site and remove slowly, in small increments, keeping catheter parallel to skin surface.Do not grasp luer lock hub to remove catheter, as catheter damage may occur.A review of the angiodynamics complaint system noted no adverse trends for this complaint type and product family.This type of complaint will continue to be monitored for trends.Reference (b)(4).
