Qn#(b)(4).The customer returned one 4-lumen catheter and lidstock for evaluation.The catheter contained obvious signs of use in the form of biological material.Visual examination did not reveal any defects or anomalies.The total length of the catheter measured to be 220 mm which is within specifications of 207-227 mm per product drawing.All four lumens were able to flush using a lab inventory syringe with minimal resistance.Biological material was purged when the lines were flushed.A lab inventory guide wire was able to pass through the catheter with minimal resistance.A device history record review was performed with no relevant findings.The ifu provided with this kit instructs the user, "flush each lumen with sterile normal saline for injection to establish patency and prime lumen(s)." the customer report of blocked extension lines could not be confirmed by complaint investigation of the returned sample.The returned catheter passed all relevant visual, dimensional, and functional testing.No problem was found with the returned sample.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for complaints of this nature.
