Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unchanged, unknown, or unavailable.Investigation ¿ evaluation: it was reported that the hub of an ultrathane mac-loc locking loop multipurpose drainage catheter detached from the shaft when connecting to chest tube suction.The device was placed in chest for the drainage of the fluids from lungs.It is unclear how the procedure was ultimately completed.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), instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, specifications, and quality control procedures, as well as a visual inspection, functional test, and dimensional verification of the returned device, were conducted during the investigation.A review of the returned device discovered the flare had completely separated, leaving no material between the cap and adaptor.The flare shows no evidence of the material being out of round.There is no evidence of material elongation.The cap and mac-loc adaptor passed the gap gauge requirement.The customer returned two additional devices from the reported lot in an unopened condition.Upon removing each device from the packaging, both passed the gap gauge requirement.Table-top testing verified that the catheter shaft was adequately attached the mac-loc adaptor.Cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to 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 dhr found that 6 devices from the reported lot did not pass quality control inspections; however, the five of the devices were reworked and one device was scrapped prior to release from cook.To date, a further search of our database records confirmed there were no additional complaints received from the reported lot.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 current instructions for use [ifu__multi2_rev1] state the following: precautions: patients with indwelling drainage catheters should be evaluated routinely to ensure continuous function of the catheter.How supplied: upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred.Based on the information provided, inspection of the returned device, and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies contributed to this incident.The user did not notice any damage during the initial placement.While it is possible that the catheter experienced excessive force or tension while in the patient, this cannot be confirmed.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.
