Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the betadine in the infant cath kit was dried up upon opening the sealed packet.No medical intervention was reported.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event was confirmed as supplier-related.The evaluation report of the returned sample, submitted by medline industries, states that the swabs were dry and free of iodine color.The report also states that during the manufacturing run of this product lot, a total of 3,150 packets were inspected during in-line and final inspections.This includes oven testing which test the seal integrity of the packet.During in-line and final inspections, inspectors check for dry packets and weight a sampling of packets to ensure there is liquid in the packets and the correct amount of liquid.It was documented that swab jams was a reoccurring issue during the run.After a discussion with maintenance, it was found that to get dry packets, an operator must have turned off the liquid and then stopped the machine.When the machine gets stopped, the program believes that everything is alright, so when the machine gets started up again the empty packets go through and are packed into the box.Medline industries concludes that with the defect rate being low (six sigma 6) and with the number of packets that are inspected throughout the run and during final inspections, no other corrective action deemed necessary.This will be trended for future incidents.Maintenance has circuited the program so it does not shut off when the machine is stopped.This will ensure that if the machine is shut down for a problem, the program will recognize it and discard the first few cycles after corrections have been made to the machine.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "the following four steps apply only to male catheterization: 2.Place the infant supine, with the thighs abducted (frog-leg position).3.Cleanse the penis with povidone-iodine swabs, starting with the meatus and moving in a proximal direction.4.Put on sterile gloves.Remove protective sheath from catheter and pull catheter out of centrifuge tube to desired length.Lay tube assembly on the sterile field.5.Place the tip of the catheter in sterile lubricant.Hold the penis perpendicular to the body to straighten the penile urethra and help prevent false passage.Advance the catheter carefully until urine appears.A slight resistance may be felt as the catheter passes the external sphincter.Note: if urine does not flow freely into the tube, the cap may need to be loosened slightly.6.After urine is collected, pull catheter out of the cap of the centrifuge tube.Tighten cap and depress spout.7.Fill out label and place on centrifuge tube.Send to lab in normal manner.The following four steps apply only to female catheterization: 2.Place the infant supine, with the thighs abducted (frog-leg position).3.Separate the labia and cleanse the area around the meatus with the povidone-iodine swabs.Use anterior-to-posterior strokes to prevent fecal contamination.4.Put on sterile gloves.Remove protective sheath from catheter and pull catheter out of centrifuge tube to desired length.Lay tube assembly on the sterile field.5.Place the tip of the catheter in sterile lubricant.Spread the labia with two fingers and carefully advance the catheter until urine appears.Note: if urine does not flow freely into the tube, the cap may need to be loosened slightly.6.After urine is collected, pull catheter out of the cap of the centrifuge tube.Tighten cap and depress spout.7.Fill out label and place on centrifuge tube.Send to lab in normal manner." h11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
