Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|

Our quality engineer inspected the sample submitted for evaluation.Your report of a damaged catheter was confirmed and the cause appeared to be associated with use.One 20g insyte autoguard device was provided for investigation.A functional test revealed a leak in the catheter tubing.A microscopic examination showed a v-shaped breach in the catheter tubing near the tip, which was consistent with needle puncture damage.As the unit is observed to have been used, it is unlikely that the damage occurred during manufacturing.Had the defect occurred during manufacturing, the condition of the catheter and needle would render the device unusable.It is likely that the needle and catheter were inserted far enough to access the vessel, after which the needle was retracted and reinserted to puncture the catheter.Please refer to the ifu(instructions for use) which indicate that if the needle is partially or completely withdrawn from the catheter tubing during insertion, do not re-insert the needle into the catheter tubing as damage may occur.A device history record review showed no non-conformances associated with this issue during the production of this batch.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Information will be captured on trend reports and monitored.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.
