The reported complaint was unable to be confirmed and a root cause could not be conclusively determined.Upon visual inspection, observed dried blood residue on the cool line catheter (lot # 96265) balloons and noticed that the in/out luered tubing's are clogged up with dried blood.All infusion ports and extension tubes were flushed without resistance, except the in/out luered tubing's due to the obstruction.Unable to perform functional testing due to the clogged up in/out luered tubing's.

Correction in h6.The functional testing of the returned cool line catheter (lot # 96265) could not be performed due to the clog accumulation in the in/out luered tubings.However, blood was observed inside of the in/out luer tubing and inside of the balloons, this typically is indicative of a leak somewhere in the catheter.Also, the customer noticed blood in the suk tubing, which is the characteristic of catheter balloon breach.Specific location or type of leak is undetermined due to the condition in which the catheter was received.
