Investigation ¿ evaluation: the customer stated that the device was occluded and could not be flushed.It was also reported the tip of the device looked split.No harm to the patient has currently been reported.Reviews of the documentation, including the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu) and quality control procedures of the device, were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a physical examination could not be completed.However, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient controls are in place to detect this failure mode prior to release.A review of the device history record (dhr) for the device found no relevant nonconformances that could have contributed to the reported failure mode.It should be noted that there were no other complaints associated with the final product lot number.Cook also reviewed product labeling.This product is supplied with an instructions for use (ifu) pamphlet c_t_pms2_rev1.Warnings: complications arising from the of this device can result in serious injury or death; the catheter tip can erode or perforate vascular walls.Other risks include, but are not limited to, thrombosis and possible infection.If lumen flow is impeded, do not force injection or withdrawal of fluids.Notify the attending physician immediately.This catheter should not be used for long term (>30 days) indwelling applications.Do not cut, trim, or modify the catheter or components, prior to placement or intraoperatively.Instructions for use: 7.) introduce the single-lumen catheter over the wire guide while maintaining the wire guide¿s position.Advance the catheter carefully into the vessel with a gentle twisting motion.Do not advance the catheter tip beyond the distal tip of the wire guide.Always be sure to have the wire guide leading during catheter placement.8.) after the catheter is in position, remove the wire guide.Confirm catheter position via return of pulsatile blood from the hub of the catheter.Note: placing a thumb over the catheter hub will help minimize blood onto the procedure site.Note: if the catheter does not have to be introduced to its full length, additional suture should be carefully placed around the catheter and affixed to the skin of the entry site.This will help prevent movement or displacement of the catheter.The lumen should now be flushed with 5-10 cc of normal saline prior to use and/or maintained according to standard hospital protocol.How supplied: upon removal form package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred.Evidence gathered upon review of the dmr, ifu, dmr and no product return, cook was not able to find evidence the product was manufactured out of specification.There is no evidence of nonconforming product in house or in the field.Based on the information provided, no returned product, and the results of our investigation, a definitive cause for the failure could not be established.It is not known how long the device was in the patient, which if left in too long could be a possible cause for this event.It is possible the lumen of the device became occluded during use from bodily fluid causing this event.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
