Event or Problem Description
According to the reporter, the patient coughed up a small piece of plastic a few hours of being use.The nurses who were on duty, saw it and determined that the piece of plastic was part of the speaking valve.The membrane of the speaking valve came loose, causing small parts to form and come out.The cannula was not damaged, only the speaking valve was replaced.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was not returned, but two photos showing a box and a sample were available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted the inside of the valve looked intact but contaminated by white particulates, but this kind of problem could have happened if the cleaning activities were not performed.Also, the membrane could become displaced during a cough or sneeze.It was reported that there was breakage of a component.The reported issue could not be confirmed.The most likely cause could not be established from the information available.The manufacturing records for each device are thoroughly reviewed prior to release to ensure that it meets all medtronic quality specifications.A secondary review of the device history records found no potentially contributing factors.The instructions included with this device provide the following guidance: the product has to be cleaned daily and verified after the cleaning that the membrane was correctly placed after the disinfection activities, without leaving any contamination.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.
