The customer reported that the l ij tlc had only the brown port with blood return, and all ports were able to be flushed.The customer returned six catheter samples for evaluation and two unused samples were removed from inventory; the investigations were unable to link the samples to a specific complaint report, and all occlusions and debris identified in the customer returned samples during decontamination and evaluation were determined to be biological in nature.Evaluation of devices returned from the customer and from inventory found no other defects related to aspiration, flushing, or guidewire passage testing, and due to the actual complaint sample not being returned, a device failure was unable to be confirmed.The incident reported within the complaint is not believed to be due to an occlusion in the device prior to insertion, and the root cause is determined to be customer caused.There were no reports of death, serious injury, medical intervention, or follow up care.It has been determined that the reported event could cause or contribute to serious injury if it were to occur again.In an abundance of caution, this is a reportable event.If additional information becomes available this report will be reopened and reevaluated.This medical device report (mdr) is being submitted as part of retrospective review activities, which include review of historical data in accordance with regulations at 21 cfr part 803.The information included in this mdr reflects the information reasonably known to the manufacturer at the time of this retrospective review and submission.
