Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A manufacturing review was conducted and there was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Received one titanium implantable port with one 6.6 fr s/l silicone catheter segment for evaluation.Tool damage was noted on the catheter body near the cath lock.The distal end of the received catheter was fractured due to sharp instrument damage.However, the investigation is inconclusive for the alleged leak as it is unknown if the catheter was trimmed to this length or if this fracture is the reported event.The definitive root cause could not be determined based upon the available information.It is unknown if patient and/or procedural issues contributed to the reported event.The review of the ifu (instructions for use), indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, and contraindications showed that the product labeling is adequate.(expiry date: 01/2023).
