Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturer¿s ref.No: (b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to report the investigational finding of the returned device.The complaint product was returned and received for evaluation and analysis.The investigation is documented below.Investigation summary: a non-sterile 90 cm cerebase straight distal access (da) guide sheath was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Visual inspection was performed.As documented in the complaint description and in the video clip included in the complaint, the shaft of the catheter next to the id band was fractured.The id band had a slight bent condition.The fracture was inspected under the microscope, and it was observed that the internal braid wire was exposed.The fracture surfaces of the vestamid shaft showed stretching and tearing of the shaft material at the edges of the fracture, indicating material elongation and tearing.The other joints in the distal region of the catheter were intact, without obvious separations.The reported issue regarding the catheter being cracked was confirmed based on the fractured condition found on the catheter.The catheter was received with a fracture of the vestamid shaft.This is a known failure mode of the catheter and can occur on a properly fused catheter.The observed condition could be the result of several factors, including but not limited to procedural factors present in the operating room such as operator¿s technique.According to the risk documentation, a catheter being damaged is a potential issue that can occur due to an inappropriate handling catheter during the device removal from the package.The instruction for use (ifu) includes precaution to inspect the guide sheath upon removal from packaging to verify that it is undamaged.A conclusive cause cannot be determined since the device was returned without the original package.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (31660065) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no internal actions related to device manufacture or inspection.As part of johnson & johnson medtech quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Devices undergo 100% inspection at different points during the manufacturing process to prevent damages from leaving the facility.It should be noted that product failure could be caused by multiple factors.The instruction for use (ifu) contains the following caution: ¿ carefully inspect all devices prior to use.Verify size, length, and condition are suitable for the specific procedure.Do not use a cerebase da guide sheath, dilator, or hemostasis valve that has been damaged in any way; replace with another guide sheath, dilator, or hemostasis valve.A damaged device may cause complications.¿ exercise care in handling the cerebase da guide sheath to reduce the chance of accidental damage.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.Updated sections: b.4, g.3, g.6.H.2, h.3, h.6, and h.11.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.
