Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.Correction: h6 - annex a investigation ¿ evaluation during preparation for a case, the physician discovered that the cook fuhrman pleural/pneumopericardial drainage catheter was unable to be flushed.It was reported that only the first side hole was functional.The physician attempted to flush the device several times.Eventually the side holes barely opened.This problem was detected in three separate cook fuhrman pleural/pneumopericardial drainage catheters.The devices were not used and did not make patient contact.Reviews of documentation including the complaint history, device history record (dhr), quality control procedures, and instructions for use (ifu) of the complaint device were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned; therefore, no physical examinations could be performed.However, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the dhrs for the reported complaint device lot and the related subassembly lots revealed relevant non-conformances in which all of these devices were scrapped.There are no other complaints on this lot.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The ifu pamphlet, c_t_ppd-m_rev0, packaged with the device contains the following in relation to the reported failure mode: "how supplied: upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred." based on the dmr, the ifu, the dhr, 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 product returned, and the results of the investigation, cook concluded this event to be due to component failure unrelated to manufacturing deficiencies.It is possible that the side ports could have been incorrect; however, without product return this cannot be confirmed.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.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.
