Product complaint # (b)(4).Conclusion: pump was returned for evaluation.Visual examination shows scratches on the exterior metal surface of the pump.The septum felt normal with several puncture marks consistent with needle penetration.The pump had a 6.5¿ segment of white catheter attached that was not clamped or tied at the distal end.Approximately 20.452ml of clear fluid with no particles was emptied from the reservoir.The bolus pathway and catheter could be flushed with no resistance.Cloudy yellow fluid with white particulates was collected.Flow path and catheter were patent and anomaly free.No leaks were noted from the septum or catheter when flushing and pressurizing.The reservoir was filled with 30mls of bacteriostatic water and placed in a 37 degree celsius water bath for flow testing.The pump flowed and average of 1.760 ml/ day, 97.8% of specified manufactured flow rate of 1.8 mls/day which is between the expected 85.1% and 114.9%.An erroneous reading was noted on the 3rd flow test reading and was a result of the catheter being inadvertently pinched by the hood of the water bath.This reading was excluded from the results and an additional one was taken to complete the flow test.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection process related to the reported complaint.There were no non-conformances related to device manufacture or inspection.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended for statistical signals and corrective/preventive action may be triggered at a later time.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
