Correction: b3, h6 (annex a, annex g).It was reported that a catheter from a cook¿s spectrum minocycline/rifampin impregnated triple lumen central venous catheter tray leaked.The device was placed in the patient on (b)(6) 2024.On (b)(6) 2024, leakage at the hub connection was discovered.The complaint device was then removed and replaced.The patient experienced a decreased blood pressure until the device was replaced.No other adverse effects were reported for this incident.Reviews of documentation including the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), and quality control procedures 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 one related non-conformance in which one device was scrapped.A complaint history search did not identify any other events associated with the reported device lot.Based on the available information, cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to specification and that there is no evidence suggesting nonconforming product exists either in house or in the field.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The product ifu, [c_t_ctulmabrm_rev7] ¿cook spectrum central venous catheter minocycline/rifampin antibiotic impregnated power injectable,¿ provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: warnings: ¿the safe and effective use or central venous catheters with power injector pressures (safety but-off) set above 325 psi has not been established.Do not power inject if maximum injection rate cannot be verified to meet limit of 10ml/sec.To safely use catheters with a power injector, the technician/heath care professional must verify prior to use that the maximum safety cut-off pressure limit is set at or below 325 psi and that the maximum flow rate is at or below 10 ml/sec.Do not exceed the maximum flow rate of 10 ml/sec.Exceeding the maximum flow rate of 10 ml/sec may result in catheter failure and/or catheter tip displacement.Power injector machine pressure limiting (safety cut-off) settings may not prevent over-pressurization of an occluded catheter.Precautions: ¿catheter should not be used for long-term indwelling applications.¿ based on the information provided, no returned product, and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that the main cause of failure was a component failure without a design or manufacturing deficiency.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Appropriate measures have been taken to address this failure mode.A capa was previously opened for further investigation.Among other variables, over-engagement of external components onto the hub may contribute to cvc hub cracking.The use of hemostats or lubrication, such as fluids remaining on the hub, during application of external components may further contribute to over-engagement, introducing additional forces to the hub.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.
