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 pierced navarre drainage catheter was confirmed and the cause appeared to be use related.One 12fr navarre drainage catheter was returned for investigation.The catheter was received with the metal cannula and trocar in the lumen.The trocar had pierced the catheter where the tubing began curving at the proximal end of the pigtail.The reported complications appeared to be related to improper preparation of the device.The white hub of the trocar was attached to the white hub of the metal cannula before the metal cannula was fully inserted within the catheter.The product ifu cautions that if the trocar is to be used, ensure that hang tag between the trocar and cannula hubs remains in place during insertion.This keeps the sharp tip of the trocar within the cannula until the trocar is fully inserted into the catheter.A lot history review (lhr) of gfar2894 showed no other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.
