Event or Problem Description
Information was received from a healthcare provider (hcp) via a manufacturer representative on (b)(6) 2019 regarding a patient receiving gablofen (500mcg/ml at 50mcg/day) via an implanted infusion pump.The indication for use was intractable spasticity.The patient's medical history included severe spasticity.It was reported that the attached collets on the catheter included in the kit detached from the connector when the surgeon was handling it.The surgeon was trying to connect the pump segment to the spinal segment at the spine incision and the collets fell off.The patient was not experiencing any issues because of this.No diagnostics or troubleshooting were performed and there were no environmental, external, or patient factors that may have led or contributed to the issue.A new kit was opened and the connector was replaced during the implant procedure with a new one.The issue was resolved at the time of report and the patient's status was alive - no injury.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Analysis of the returned catheter segment indicated the collet was detached and/or missing.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
