Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unchanged, unknown or unavailable.Correction: d2, g5 - this device is no longer sold in the us but similar devices (upic[d][t]s- and c-ud[t][q]lm[y]-) are sold in the u.S.The previously reported procode and 510k number are not accurate.Additional information: h6 - device code: additional device code provided.Investigation ¿ evaluation: it was reported that during a procedure, a catheter from a redo double lumen tpn catheter set (c-tpns-5.0d-65-12-redo) from lot 8312659 was "bent" and started leaking.The catheter was replaced after the leak was identified.Multiple attempts were made to get additional information about the case but no response was received.A review of the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu), and quality control were conducted during the investigation.The visual inspection of the complaint device could not be completed as the device was not returned for evaluation.However, a document based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record found that proper procedures are in place to identify and prevent this failure mode prior to device distribution.A review of the device history record found no nonconformances or additional complaints related to this device lot.There is no evidence to suggest there is any nonconforming product in house or out in the field.Additionally, a review of the product labeling for the device was completed.The instructions for use state the following instructions related to the reported failure mode: silicone catheters are not designed for power injection.Catheter rupture may occur.Use of a 10 ml syringe or larger will reduce the risk of catheter rupture.The following suggest catheter maintenance is also provided ¿.If catheter is not to be used immediately, its lumen should be maintained by continuous saline or heparinized saline drip or locked with heparinized saline solution.Normal saline lock is permissible if utilizing the clc2000 injection cap.Catheter heparinization should be determined by institutional protocol and clinical judgement.Heparin concentrations of 10 units/ml to 100 units/ml have been reported adequate to maintain lumen patency.Catheter lock should be reestablished after every use or at least every 24 hours if unused.Before using catheter lumen already locked with heparin, lumen should be flushed with twice the indicated lumen volume using normal saline.Lumen should be flushed with normal saline between administration of different infusates.After use, lumen should again be flushed with twice the indicated lumen volume using normal saline before reestablishing heparin or saline lock.Strict aseptic technique must be adhered to while using and maintaining catheter.Based on the information provided, no inspection of the product, and the results of the investigation, a definitive cause was not established.The failure could be related to medical procedure or manufacturing but it is unclear where the device leaked or when the leaking was discovered.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is required.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.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.
