Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported event was confirmed as a packaging related issue.A red rubber two way lubricath catheter was returned with a 10 cc slip tip syringe with its original packaging.In the investigation, it was found that the 76cm0118 release date 06aug2004 does not match the lot number format according to the standard.Also it was found that the expiration date was missing.A potential root cause for this issue could be "operator error" error during the label printing process".The packaging failed specifications.There does appear to be a relationship between the event and the packaging as the lot was found to be in an incorrect format and the expiration date was missing.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.A labeling review was not completed as it unlikely the user would cause this issue.
