The bactiseal peritoneal catheter (id 823074) was returned for evaluation.Failure analysis - the catheter was visually inspected, no defects noted, the ends of the catheter parts seemed to be clean cut.The catheter parts were leak tested, no leaks noted.Root cause analysis - no root cause could be determined for the failure issue reported by the customer as the technician could not confirm any holes in the catheter at the time of investigation.The possible root cause for the issue reported by the customer, could be due to the fact that only parts of the catheter were returned for investigation, it is possible that the parts not returned had a hole.However, it was not possible to confirm and identify the root cause of this assumption as not all the catheter was returned for investigation.If more parts of the catheter are received, this complaint will be re-opened, and evaluated.
