Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturer¿s ref.No: (b)(4).Information regarding patient identifier, date of birth, age, sex, gender, weight, race, and ethnicity were not provided.Section d.2b: procode is nry/qjp.Section e.1: the initial reporter phone is not available / reported.The complaint product was returned and received for evaluation and analysis.The investigation is documented below.Investigation summary: a non-sterile 132cm cereglide 71 intermediate catheter was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Visual inspection was performed.A kink was noted on the hub side.No other damages were found on the device.Microscopic inspection was performed.Under magnification, it was noted that the hub had been subjected to force, which caused the outer plastic layer to fracture, exposing the internal wires.However, the device remained in one piece connected by the internal braided wires.The issue reported that the catheter got kinked was confirmed during the inspection.According to risk documentation hub damage during attachment/removal of hemostasis valve is a potential failure mode that can result from the handling of hemostasis valve and hub, which may result in excessive force applied, causing device damage.Devices undergo 100% inspection for exposed wire inside the hub during hub injection molding process, and 100% inspection for catheter kinks or damages during catheter loading into hoop.Thus, it is not likely that the device left the facility in a damaged condition; intra-operative factors may have contributed to the issue reported, however, with the amount of information available, a root cause cannot be established.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 31335786 number, and no non-conformance's related to the malfunction were identified.As part of the j&j medtech quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Although no conclusion could be reached as to the cause of the event reported, the instruction for use (ifu) contains the following precautions: before removing the intermediate catheter from the packaging hoop dispenser, rotate the luer on the packaging hoop 90 degrees.Gently remove the catheter and accessories from the hoop and inspect prior to use to verify that they are undamaged.Caution: do not use a catheter that has been damaged in any way.If damage is detected, replace it with another catheter that is not damaged.Do not advance or withdraw an intravascular device against resistance until the cause of the resistance is determined by fluoroscopy.Movement of the device against resistance could damage the device or cause patient injury.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.Missing information from this report is identified as blank; this information was not provided in the reported event or available at the time of report submission.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.
