(b)(4).The actual device was not returned; however, the customer provided two photos for analysis.The photos show the medial extension line with a hole in the connection adjacent to the juncture hub; however, a complete visual inspection to determine the cause of the damage could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.A device history record review was performed and no relevant findings were identified.The instructions for use (ifu) provided with this kit warns 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." without the 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.
