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 catheter kink is inconclusive due to poor sample condition.One 20 ga x 8 cm pflex catheter was returned for investigation.Use residue was observed throughout the sample.No apparent kinks in the catheter were observed.Manipulation of the sample revealed it to preferentially kink at the proximal end of the catheter.Based on the description of the reported event and condition of the returned sample, possible contributing factors include placement and securement technique.The catheter did not display any permanent kinking upon return but may have experienced kinking under clinical use; therefore, the complaint is inconclusive due to poor sample condition.A lot history review (lhr) of recq1252 showed no other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.
