Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation ¿ evaluation.It was reported that the wire guide in a cook spectrum minocycline/rifampin impregnated triple lumen central venous catheter set unraveled.Placement of the cook spectrum minocycline/rifampin impregnated triple lumen central venous catheter was being performed on an 85-year-old male patient.The patient did not have tortuous anatomy.Resistance was felt upon advancement of the wire guide into the subclavian vein.The wire was not manipulated or withdrawn through the needle.There was resistance when advancing the wire through the needle or through the catheter.Upon removal, the wire guide was found to be "frayed".The physician ultimately chose to use a competitor's product, and the placement was completed successfully.Reviews of documentation including the complaint history, drawing, device history record (dhr), quality control procedures, specifications, manufacturing instructions (mi), and instructions for use (ifu), as well as a visual inspection, and dimensional verification of the returned device, were conducted during the investigation.A used catheter was returned containing a double ended wire guide and was found to be unraveling.The wire guide was confirmed to be within the current specification.Additionally, 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 no recorded quality control discrepancies relevant to the failure mode.A complaint history search identified no other events reported for the related failure mode.Based on the available information, cook has concluded that there is no evidence suggesting nonconforming product exists either in house or in the field.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The ifu packaged with the device contains the following in relation to the reported failure mode: "instructions for use" 3.Introduce thin-wall percutaneous entry needle into vessel.Venous blood should be easily aspirated to confirm position of the needle tip within the vessel.4.Slide the safe t j wire guide straightener (positioned on the distal tip of the wire guide) over the "j" portion of the wire guide.Pass the straightened wire guide through the needle; advance the wire guide 5¿10 cm into the vessel.If a straight wire guide is used, always advance the soft, flexible end through the needle hub and into the vessel.If resistance is encountered during wire guide insertion, do not force the wire guide.Withdrawal of the wire guide through the needle should be avoided, breakage may result.8.Introduce the central venous catheter over the wire guide.While maintaining wire guide position, advance the catheter into the vessel with a gentle twisting motion.Note: do not advance the catheter tip beyond the distal tip of the wire guide.Always ensure the wire guide leads during catheter placement.Based on the information provided, inspection of the returned device and the results of the investigation the cause of the event has been traced to component failure, with no evidence of design or manufacturing issues.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.
