The device history record for the reported lot number, 0202661393, was reviewed and documented that the lot was manufactured according to the approved manufacturing procedures, specifications, and then released by quality assurance.One sample device was returned.The pump was returned with a silver-soaker catheter.The silver-soaker catheter was returned not fully intact, missing ¾ of the catheter segment.There are two knots at the catheter right before where the breakage occurred.There was evidence of stretching at knots measured to be 0.016¿.The non-damaged part was measured to be 0.044¿.The catheter was examined under a microscope magnified at 2.5x, no signs of brittleness were observed.The catheter edges look like a sharp object was used.Tensile strength was performed on the catheter using the instron machine.The passing rate for the test is >2.8(lbf) at the infusion segment and >4.00 (lbf) for the mid-body segment.The result for the catheter mid-body segment was 7.04(lbf).The infusion segment was unable to be performed because it was not returned.The catheter met specifications during the tensile test and no additional testing was performed.The investigation summary concluded that the silver soaker catheter was received not fully intact, missing ¾ of the catheter segment.Evidence revealed that stretching was observed before the breakage.Tensile strength was performed on the mid-body segment and met specifications.Excessive force failure mode was chosen because during visual observation of the catheter, stretching and breakage was observed.Tensile strength on the mid-body met specifications.Using excessive force >4.00(lbf) on the catheter at the mid-body segment and >2.8(lbf) at the infusion segment will cause it to break.All information reasonably known as of 29-sep-2017 has been included in this health authority report.Should additional information be obtained, a follow-up health authority report will be provided.The information provided by halyard health 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 halyard health.Halyard health has no independent knowledge of the event reported but is relaying the information that was provided by the user facility where the incident occurred.This product incident is documented in the halyard health complaint database and identified as complaint (b)(4).
