Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event was inconclusive because this investigation did not result in any additional findings and no sample was available for evaluation.The labeling is found to be adequate as it states, to avoid the possibility of drain damage or breakage: additional perforations should not be made in the drains.Avoid suturing through drains.Drains should lie flat and in line with the skin exit areas.Particular care should be taken to avoid any obstacles to the drain exit path.Drains should be checked for free motion during closure to minimize the possibility of breakage.Drain removal should be done gently by hand.They should not be handled with pointed, toothed or sharp instruments which could cause cuts or nicks and lead to subsequent structural failure of the drain.Surgical removal may be necessary if drain is difficult to remove or breaks.Using a silicone double drain: draw drain using trocar from outside into inside of wound then from inside to outside of wound on other side.Cut wound tube in the middle of perforated section.Remove trocar only by cutting the drain tubing one inch from end of trocar.Trim non-perforated section of drain to desired length.Attach drains to individual evacuators, or to y-connector 0070780 or 0070790.Insert other blue adapter into y-connector and attach drains to each blue adapter.Insert connecting tube into evacuator.Reuse precaution: this is a single use device.Do not re-sterilize any portion of this device.Reuse and/or repackaging may create a risk of patient or user infection, compromise the structural integrity and/or essential material and design characteristics of the device, which may lead to device failure, and/or lead to injury, illness or death of the patient.A dhr could not be performed since no lot number was provided.No additional actions can be taken at this time.Correction: d.Udi format updated with available product information per gudid.H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
