Additional Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The customer report of a damaged luer hub was confirmed by complaint investigation of the returned sample.The customer returned one hemodialysis catheter for analysis.Signs of use in the form of biological material were observed on the catheter body and inside both extension lines.Flattening was observed on the venous luer hub.Manufacturing confirmed the observed damage would have prevented the catheter from passing required 100% leak testing; therefore, the damage likely occurred post-manufacturing.A device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.Based on the returned sample and available information, the root cause cannot be determined at this time.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
