Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The complainant was unable to provide the suspect device lot number; therefore, the lot expiration and device manufacture dates are unknown at this time.(b)(4).Visual examination of the returned device revealed that the sheath was peeled away and the button was partially released.The c-flex tubing was broken approximately 1cm of the tubing remained on the distal end of the connector.The c-flex tubing was narrowed near the broken area indicating stretching of material due to tensile force and the broken area was found irregular.The c-flex tubing outer diameter was measured in some points of the device and the narrowed section was found out of specification.The complaint was consistent with the reported incident that the feeding tube was detached.It is most likely that procedural and anatomical factors encountered during the procedure could have affected the device performance and its integrity.Based on the information available and the analysis performed, the investigation conclusion code for the complaint will be documented as adverse event related to procedure since the adverse event occurred during the procedure and the device had no influence on event.A dhr (device history record) review was performed and did not identify evidence of deviations or non-conformances in the manufacturing processes that could contribute to the complaint.The dhr review confirms that the accepted device met all manufacturing specifications.
