Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event was confirmed, however, the cause is unknown.A red rubber two way lubricath catheter was returned with a 10 cc slip tip syringe with its original packaging.In the investigation, its dhr review showed that the product expired on 31march2007 which are years before the date of awareness.As no expiration date was found on the package and the box label was not returned this investigation cannot be confirmed as use-related.A potential root cause for this issue could be "operator error" during the label printing process".As the expiration date was missing from the packaging and the box label was not returned, it cannot be determined if the device failed to met specifications.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 the event states that the expiration date was missing from the package and the box label cannot be retrieved to the lot age.
