Manufacturer Narrative

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 is unconfirmed as the alleged problem could not be reproduced.One 5 fr dual lumen powerpicc was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation showed use residue on the returned sample.Both lumens of the catheter were flushed and pressurized.Both lumens were found to be patent to infusion and aspiration and no leaks were observed.As a note, the formation and buildup of fibrin could cause infusate to be directed back toward the insertion site as well as difficulties aspirating.A lot history review (lhr) review is not possible, as no manufacturing lot number has been provided by the complainant.
