Investigation summary: a device history review was conducted for lot number 7209534.Our records show it was manufactured on august 31, 2017, and determined that this is the third instance of foreign matter being identified in this batch.According to the sampling plan applied for product performance, this lot was accepted and released without defects being noted during the final assembly or visual inspections of packaged goods.Visual evaluation of the submitted samples and the resulting review of the manufacturing process determined that the identity of the material is solidified silicone.Silicone is a material used to manufacture this device, and is applied to the catheter as a lubricant for reduced resistance during insertion.Excess application of the lubricant is currently possible due to limitations in the manufacturing process.Bd is currently investigating potential process changes to eliminate the occurrence of similar events.Based on investigation results to date, root cause was associated to our current process to apply silicon to the catheter (dipping process).Capa process required to mitigate the reported failure mode (450094).
