Manufacturer Narrative

H6- additional method code: analysis of production records (3331).Investigation - evaluation: a customer at duke hospital north (united states) informed cook that the needle in a c-pms-250 (single lumen pressure monitoring set) from lot 9826829 seemed to be "blocked" prior to an arterial line placement on (b)(6) 2019.The physician had difficulty inserting a wire through the needle while testing the device.They opened another device to complete the procedure without adverse effects to the patient.A review of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), quality control and specifications, as well as a visual inspection and functional test of both used and unused product was conducted during the investigation.Two opened needles, one opened.015" wire guide, and one unopened c-pms-250 set were returned to cook for evaluation.One of the opened needles is reported under mdr #1820334-2019-02831 while the unopened set is reported under mdr #1820334-2020-00800.The other used needle is the focus of this report.A functional test showed a clear/white substance exiting the needle as the used wire guide was advanced through.Though the wire was able to be advanced through the needle with pressure, resistance was noted.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.The device master record (dmr) found that proper procedures and inspections are in place to prevent the distribution of non-conforming product.A review of the device's design history files found that the product is both safe and effective for its intended use.A review of the dhrs for the reported complaint device lot (9826829) and the related needle component sub-assembly lots revealed no non-conformances.However, based on the dhr review, there is evidence of potential nonconforming material in house and in field.As the needle is supplied by cook polymer technology (cpt), cook initiated a supplier corrective action request in response to this issue.As there is evidence of potentially nonconforming material from the same supplier lots in other events, cook initiated product containment for affected in house product and to prevent redistribution of product in the field.It should be noted that there were six additional complaints on final lots containing one of two related component lots.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The instructions for use state "upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred." based on the information provided, examination of the returned product, and the results of our investigation, a definitive root cause was established as a deficiency in supplier manufacturing/quality control.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the quality engineering risk assessment no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
