Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Manufacturer's ref.No: (b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to report the investigational finding of the returned device.The complaint product was returned and received for evaluation and analysis.The investigation is documented below.Investigation summary: a non-sterile envoy® guiding catheter, 6f, 100 cm, mpd was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Visual inspection was performed.Multiple kinks were observed along the entire length of the catheter.The reported issue documented in the complaint regarding resistance when attempting to advance the microcatheter cannot be evaluated through functional testing.The multiple kinks observed during the visual inspection prevent the functional test from being performed; this damage is suspected to have appeared during the post-operational handling of the device since no damages were reported to be observed on the catheter during the issue.There is no indication that the issue reported in the complaint results from a defect inherently related to the device.There may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the analysis.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (31312321) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no internal actions related to device manufacture or inspection.As part of johnson & johnson medtech quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.It should be noted that product failure is multifactorial.The instruction for use (ifu) contains the following precaution: ¿ do not use a catheter that has been damaged in any way.If damage is detected, replace it with another envoy guiding catheter that is not damaged.Based on the manufacturing documentation review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended for statistical signals and corrective/preventive action may be triggered at a later time.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.Updated sections: b4, g3, g6.H2, h3, h6, and h11.The manufacturer will submit a supplemental report if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Additional information will be submitted within 30 days of receipt.
