Investigation ¿ evaluation: it was reported that the cook chest drain valve (cdv) from a simple pneumothorax aspiration accessory set leaked.The device was required to drain a pneumothorax of a bedridden patient.After the device was placed, the cdv leaked pleural fluid from the blue end of the valve onto the patient's bed.The cdv was removed and replaced with a second valve from the same lot number.However, the replacement cdv also leaked.The second cdv was then removed and replaced with a third cdv from a different lot number.As reported, the patient did not experience any adverse effects or require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.Reviews of documentation including the complaint history, device history record (dhr), and quality control procedures of the 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 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 no relevant non-conformances and no other complaints on this lot at time of investigation.Based on the dmr, 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.Product labeling review was not performed due to this lot not being supplied with an instructions for use (ifu) pamphlet.Based on the information provided, no product returned, and the results of the investigation, cook concluded this event to be component failure unrelated to manufacturing deficiencies.It is possible that the connection was not tightened enough and could have led to this event.It is possible that even though the patient is bedridden, that the patient could have been moved which could have tugged on the connection enough to allow leakage.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.
