Due to an it issue beginning on (b)(6) 2018, previously filed emdrs did not contain required fields.This supplemental emdr is filed to provide the following omitted fields: event attributed to: other.Device single use?: no.Device returned to manufacture: yes.As per request, (10) samples were randomly selected from each reported lot number and examined.All examined samples from each of the lot numbers exhibited clear droplets of material on the surface of the catheter.One representative sample from each of the reported lot numbers was selected and a small amount of the material was removed from each sample and prepared for ftir spectral analysis.The spectral analysis shows that this material is silicone for each of the lot numbers.A review of the device history record was completed for the lots 7270758, 7173832 regarding tests to verify "foreign matter/visible silicone" and no records were found that could lead to the claimed defect.Confirmed: bd was able to confirm the customer complaint for the claimed defect.Based on the investigations conducted for complaints of excess silicone of angiocath, it has been found that the root cause of this on the catheter is caused by the excessive amount of silicone that is dispensed during the catheter siliconization process.(b)(4) has been initiated for this issue.
