Manufacturer ref# (b)(4).Updated sections on this medwatch: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 and h11.Correction: h6.Medical device problem code: deformation due to compressive stress (a040601).An analysis of the product could not be performed since a physical sample was not received for evaluation.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 31364334 number, and no non-conformances related to the malfunction were identified.With the information available and without the product available for analysis, the reported customer complaint could not be confirmed.Based on the manufacturing record evaluation, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.The exact cause of the event could not be determined; however, there are circumstances of the procedure that may have contributed to the reported failure.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended to identify statistical signals for consideration of further correction action.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.A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.

Manufacturer ref# (b)(4) the device was returned to j&j medtech for further evaluation.A non-sterile 132cm cereglide 71 catheter was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, visual inspection was performed and the presence of hydrophilic coating was confirmed.Two compressed conditions were found on the distal portion of the device, the first was found on the braided mesh at 14cm.The second compressed condition was found at 15.50cm.All measurements were taken from the distal end of the device.The issue regarding a catheter mid segment being kinked was confirmed during the visual inspection; even the compressed conditions were found in the distal portion of the catheter these are considered related to the reported issue; they appeared to be secondary to the difficulty while handling the device.With the limited information available, a conclusive cause cannot be determined; however, given the broad sequence of events, there is no indication that the issue reported in the complaint is related to a manufacturing issue.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 31364334 number, and internal action related to the malfunction were identified.As part of j&j medtech quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no internal action activity is required.It should be noted that product failure is multifactorial.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use (ifu) contain the following precautions: do not advance or withdraw an intravascular device against resistance until the cause of the resistance is determined by fluoroscopy.Exercise care in handling the intermediate catheter to reduce the chance of accidental damage.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended to identify statistical signals for consideration of further correction action.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.A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.
