Investigation - evaluation.It was reported that a turbo-ject double lumen over-the-wire power-injectable picc (part number upicds-5.0-ct-otw-st-1111, lot number 9633491) was leaking the administered medication.The picc line was described as having a crack along it and leaked onto the patient's arm.The picc line was removed and disposed of.There was no other information available about the case.A review of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), and quality control was conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned; therefore, no physical examinations could be performed.However, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.The evidence indicated the device was manufactured to specification.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the dhrs for the reported complaint device lot (9633491) and the related line component sub-assembly lot revealed no recorded non-conformances.A database search found this to be the only event associated with the reported device lot.There is no evidence that suggests non-conforming products exists either in house or in field.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The device was supplied with ifu t_ctpiccotwtt which includes the following warnings: the safe and effective use of turbo-ject picc line with power injector pressures set above 325psi has not been established do not power inject if maximum injection rate cannot be verified to meet limit printed on catheter hub or extension tube.To safely use turbo-ject picc lines with a power injector, the technician/health care professional must verify: the catheter lumen has "ct" on the hub to indicate the lumen is power injectable.Prior to use that the maximum pressure limit is set at or below 325psi and that the maximum flow rate is at or below that which is listed on the catheter.Dynamic and static pressure test results are shown in the following table.The following precaution if lumen flow is impeded, do not force injection or withdrawal of fluids.Notify attending physician immediately.Based on the information provided, no product returned, and the results of the investigation, a definitive root cause could not be established.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.
