Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The complaint of a clear substance on the catheter and needle cover was confirmed; however, the root cause could not be determined.Two photographs were reviewed as part of the investigation.One image showed a 20g nexiva iv catheter with the needle not positioned within the catheter, indicating the device had been removed from its unit package and manipulated from its manufactured configuration.A clear substance was observed on the catheter tubing and on the needle cover shown in the second image.The material was consistent with manufacturing applied lubrication, a non foreign substance.Due to the absence of physical samples and because the device had been altered from its original state, the origin and composition of the observed material could not be conclusively determined.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.
