Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The complaint of a damaged extension tube was confirmed, and the cause appeared to be manufacturing related.One 22g nexiva iv catheter was returned for investigation.The sample exhibited evidence of use.A breach in the circumferential direction was observed in the extension tubing, which allowed fluid to leak.It was reported that the leak site coincided with the location the clamp had been applied.No sharp edges or burrs were observed on the clamp.The location of the breach was consistent with damage that can occur during manufacturing due to misaligned or damaged grippers.There were no other similar complaints from the implicated lot.The appropriate manufacturing personnel were notified of this complaint.A review of our risk management documentation was performed and indicates that the potential risk of the reported event was assessed appropriately.Complaints received about 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 data collected for identification of emerging trends.
