Manufacturer Narrative

The information provided by bard represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bard.The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, frequency analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), applicable fmea documents, labeling, and applicable manufacture records.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a leak in the button replacement device was confirmed, but the exact cause could not be determined from the three photographs provided for investigation.Each image shows the external portion of a button replacement device that was placed in a patient.The strap and external bolster were yellowed.The plug was closed in each photo.Photo #1 shows what appears to be fluid on the patient.The fluid path is connected to the side of the button¿s external bolster without the strap.Photos 2 and 3 show the strap and plug being partially lifted up, which reveals what appears to be encrusted residue near the button¿s port.The skin appears to be wet near the side of the external bolster without the strap.From the photographs, it could not be determined if the leak was originating from the stoma or from within the button.It was reported that the fluid was leaking even when the lid was closed.This could have created the residue that was observed underneath the strap.Potential contributing factors of the leak include residue buildup or a device that is too short for the stoma length, which prevents the valve from completely closing.A lot history review (lhr) of huzk0290 showed no other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.
