(b)(4).Complaint verification testing could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.The ifu provided with the kit informs the user, "some disinfectants used at the access device insertion site contain solvents, which can attack the catheter material.Assure insertion site is dry before dressing".A device history record review was performed based on a potential lot from sales history, and no relevant findings were identified.Without the device to evaluate, the complaint could not be confirmed, and the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.Corrected data: date of incident changed to (b)(6) 2023 after receipt of additional information.Codes added for occlusion and extravasation.
