The device history records was performed for the indicated packaging and component lots for any deviations related to the reported defect of the complaint.The review confirms that the lots met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The february 2019 angiodynamics complaint report was reviewed for the smartport product family and the failure mode "catheter fractured/migrated." no adverse trend was indicated.Due to the lack of information provided on the voluntary medwatch form, the end user was unable to be contacted for additional information regarding the event and sample availability.Therefore, the report of fractured port catheter tubing is unable to be confirmed and the potential root cause is unable to be determined.The directions for use packaged with the smart port provide guidance on implantation and potential complications, including "catheter fragmentation and catheter pinch-off." (b)(4).
