Event or Problem Description
According to the reporter, during the procedure, the two-part titanium adapter was supposed to thread together but the device was defective and would not thread properly at all.It was also stated that, instead of using the titanium adapter, they had to use the less durable plastic adapter that comes with the catheter.There was nothing unusual observed on the device prior to use and the device was paired with a pd (peritoneal dialysis) catheter but it was unrelated to the event (separate item).Flushing was performed with no issue result.The catheter was not repaired, there was no leak, there was no cleaning agent used on the device, tego was not utilized, the luer adapter did not thread/spin/attach, and the insertion site was not treated prior to product placement.The device was replaced the same day with the same product id and lot number as the remedial action done.The procedure was proceeded and completed.There was no intervention/treatment required as the result of the event, there was no blood loss and blood transfusion was not required.There was no reported patient injury.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted the male and female parts of the adapters could not be fully tightened due to a mis-match of the threads between the two pieces.It was reported that there was an issue with the connector.The reported issue was confirmed.The most likely cause was determined to be manufacturing related.Internal process improvements have been initiated to mitigate this issue.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
