Correction: due to an it issue beginning on 7/3/2018, 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.Investigation summary: as per request, returned samples from each of the reported lot numbers were examined and samples from both lot numbers exhibited clear droplets on the surface of the catheter.A small amount of this material was removed from a sample from each of the reported lot numbers and prepared for ftir spectral analysis.The spectral analysis shows that the clear droplets of material from each of the lot numbers is most likely silicone.Bd was able to confirm the customer¿s indicated failure mode.Based on dhr review for material 381157, all samples taken for visual characteristics properly met the acceptance criteria.However, the engineering team evaluated the samples and associated the reported incident to our dipping process for catheter.Material observed as foreign material is in reality silicon which is used to lubricate the catheter.Process fmea (b)(4) and process eura (b)(4) were reviewed and there are proper controls in place to detect product malfunctions.Based on investigation results to date, root cause was associated to our current process to apply silicon to the catheter (dipping process) capa 450094 has been initiated to mitigate the reported failure mode.
