It was reported that "incident occurred on (b)(6) 2025.The cvc 3-lumen plastic tubing are very flexible and thin, which can cause twisting or kinking.(between the patient's and the first hub connection).The patient was on iv cordarone with an electric syringe pump, which led to occlusion of the electric syringe pump and interruption of the intravenous treatment.Patient was in atrial fibrillation at 150bpm." a bolus of iv cordarone was delivered to the patient.The patient's current condition is reported as "unknown".

(b)(4).The customer returned an unopened, representative kit for analysis.The kit was opened to analyze the contents within.No defects or anomalies were observed on the catheter.Visual analysis could not be performed on the reported device without it being returned for analysis.The outer diameter of the medial extension line measured 2.14 mm which is within the specification limits of 2.13-2.21 mm per the medial extension line extrusion drawing.The inner diameter of the medial extension line measured 1.45 mm, which is within the specification limits of 1.42-1.50 mm per the medial extension line extrusion drawing.The outer diameter of the distal extension line measured 2.18 mm which is within the specification limits of 2.13-2.21 mm per the distal extension line extrusion drawing.The inner diameter of the distal extension line measured 1.45 mm, which is within the specification limits of 1.42-1.50 mm per the distal extension line extrusion drawing.The outer diameter of the proximal extension line measured 2.16 mm which is within the specification limits of 2.13-2.21 mm per the proximal extension line extrusion drawing.The inner diameter of the proximal extension line measured 1.45 mm, which is within the specification limits of 1.42-1.50 mm per the proximal extension line extrusion drawing.Dimensional analysis could not be performed on the reported device without it being returned for analysis.The catheter lumens were functionally tested per the product instructions for use (ifu).The ifu provided with this kit instructs the user, "flush each lumen with sterile normal saline for injection to establish patency and prime lumen(s)." each lumen was flushed using a lab inventory syringe filled with water and each lumen flush as intended without any leakages or blockages observed.Functional analysis could not be performed on the reported device without it being returned for analysis.A device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.The ifu provided with this kit informs the user, "do not secure, staple and/or suture directly to outside diameter of catheter body or extension lines to reduce risk of cutting or damaging the catheter or impeding catheter flow.Secure only at indicated stabilization locations." the complaint of a kinked extension line was not confirmed by complaint investigation of the returned sample.A representative sample was returned and it met all relevant visual, dimensional, and functional requirements.Full complaint verification testing could not be performed as the reported device was not returned for analysis.A device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.Without the reported device to evaluate, the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
