Additional information: d9 - date returned to mfg.Investigation ¿ evaluation: it was reported that the hub of an ultrathane mac-loc locking loop multipurpose drainage catheter separated at an unknown time after placement.As the patient needed to be connected to an atrium for a pleural effusion, the patient was returned to the interventional radiology lab from the unit for a device exchange.The patient did not experience any other adverse effects.Reviews of documentation including the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, and quality control procedures, as well as a visual inspection and dimensional verification of the returned device, were conducted during the investigation.Cook received one ultrathane mac-loc locking loop multipurpose drainage catheter in a used and damaged condition.A review of the device discovered the flare had completely separated from the hub, leaving no material between the cap and adaptor.The flare shows no evidence of the material being out of round and no evidence of material elongation.The cap and mac-loc adaptor passed the gap gauge requirement.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 for the reported complaint device lot revealed two relevant recorded discrepancies, in which a total of three units were scrapped prior to further processing of the order.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 report 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.
