Correction: h6 - annex a.Investigation ¿ evaluation: it was reported that the catheter included in the nathanson cystic/common bile duct exploration set separated during an unknown procedure.While outside of the patient, the device separated into three pieces as it was being inserted into laparoscopic forceps.Use of the device was then discontinued.The patient did not experience any adverse effects or require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.Reviews of documentation including the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), and quality control procedures, as well as a visual inspection of the returned device, were conducted during the investigation.Cook received one prior to use device.The catheter was received separated into multiple sections.The catheter also felt brittle.There is, however, no indication the complaint device was manufactured out of 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 and the related subassembly lots revealed no relevant discrepancies.A complaint history search identified no other events reported for the related failure mode.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 the product labeling.The product instructions for use (ifu) titled "c_t_cdes2_rev1" provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: ¿how supplied: supplied sterilized by ethylene oxide gas in peel-open packages.Intended for one-time use.Sterile if package is unopened and undamaged.Do not use the product if there is doubt as to whether the product is sterile.Store in a dark, dry, cool place.Avoid extended exposure to light.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 was unable to establish a cause for this event.It is possible that the device was exposed to light for a prolonged amount of time, resulting in the brittle texture.However, this cannot be confirmed without additional information.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.
