BLANK FIELDS ON THIS FORM INDICATE THE INFORMATION IS UNKNOWN, UNCHANGED OR UNAVAILABLE. CORRECTION: H6 - ANNEX A . INVESTIGATION ¿ EVALUATION. ON (B)(6) 2023, IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE RHINO DILATOR INCLUDED IN THE BLUE RHINO G2-MULTI PERCUTANEOUS TRACHEOSTOMY INTRODUCER SET ADVANCED OVER THE SAFETY RIDGE OF THE WHITE CATHETER. THE PATIENT DID NOT HAVE ANY TORTUOUS ANATOMY. THE PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED WITH A COMPETITOR PERCUTANEOUS TRACHEOSTOMY SET. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE EFFECTS TO THE PATIENT DUE TO THIS OCCURRENCE. REVIEWS OF THE DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING THE COMPLAINT HISTORY, DEVICE HISTORY RECORD, INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (IFU), MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS AND QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES, AS WELL AS A VISUAL INSPECTION, FUNCTIONAL TEST AND DIMENSIONAL VERIFICATION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE, WERE CONDUCTED DURING THE INVESTIGATION. ONE BLUE RHINO AND ONE WHITE CATHETER WERE RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. DURING TABLE-TOP TESTING, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE BLUE RHINO ADVANCED OVER THE SAFETY RIDGE OF THE WHITE CATHETER. DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS CONFIRMED THAT THE DEVICE AND COMPONENTS WERE MANUFACTURED TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS AND TOLERANCES. ADDITIONALLY, A DOCUMENT-BASED INVESTIGATION EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED. 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 DEVICE HISTORY RECORD (DHR) FOR THE DEVICE AND SUBASSEMBLY LOTS FOUND NO RELEVANT NONCONFORMANCES THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED FAILURE MODE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FINAL PRODUCT LOT NUMBER. COOK WAS ALSO ABLE TO REVIEW PRODUCT LABELING. THE PRODUCT IFU, [C_T_PTISGI_REV0] ¿BLUE RHINO G2-MULTI PERCUTANEOUS TRACHEOSTOMY INTRODUCER] STATES: CONTRAINDICATIONS: PATIENTS WITH ENLARGED THYROIDS. NONPALPABLE CRICOID CARTILAGE . PREVIOUS SURGERY AT THE TRACHEOSTOMY SITE (E.G. THYROIDECTOMY). POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS. PERFORATION OF THE TRACHEA. FAILED TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE PLACEMENT. HYPOXIA. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. TRACHEOSTOMY PROCEDURE. 1. PALPATE THE LANDMARK STRUCTURES (THYROID NOTCH, CRICOID CARTILAGE) TO ASCERTAIN PROPER LOCATION FOR TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE PLACEMENT. ACCESS AND ULTIMATELY TUBE PLACEMENT IS IDEALLY MADE AT THE LEVEL BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND TRACHEAL CARTILAGES OR BETWEEN THE SECOND D THIRD TRACHEAL CARTILAGES WHENEVER FEASIBLE. 2. ¿ MAKE A 1.5-2.0 CM SKIN INCISION (VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL) AT THE CHOSEN INSERTION SITE ¿ NOTE: AN ADEQUATE SKIN INCISION AND BLUNT DISSECTION OF THE SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE CAN MINIMIZE THE NEED FOR EXCESSIVE FORCE. 13. ACTIVATE THE HYDROPHILIC COATING BY IMMERSING THE DISTAL END OF THE BLUE RHINO G2-MULTI DILATOR IN STERILE WATER OR SALINE. 14. ADVANCE THE BLUE RHINO G2-MULTI DILATOR AND THE GUIDING CATHETER AS A UNIT OVER THE WIRE GUIDE, WHILE MAINTAINING WIRE GUIDE POSITION. NOTE: ALIGN THE PROXIMAL END OF THE GUIDING CATHETER AT THE MARK ON THE PROXIMAL PORTION OF THE WIRE GUIDE. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT THE DISTAL END OF THE GUIDING CATHETER IS PROPERLY POSITIONED BACK ON THE WIRE GUIDE, PREVENTING POSSIBLE TRAUMA TO THE POSTERIOR TRACHEAL WALL DURING SUBSEQUENT MANIPULATIONS. NOTE: BRONCHOSCOPIC GUIDANCE MAY ALSO PREVENT POSSIBLE TRAUMA TO THE POSTERIOR TRACHEAL WALL. 15. BEGIN TO DILATE THE TRACHEAL ACCESS SITE BY ADVANCING THE GUIDING CATHETER AND BLUE RHINO G2-MULTI DILATOR INTO THE TRACHEA. TO PROPERLY ALIGN THE DILATOR ON THE WIRE GUIDE/GUIDING CATHETER ASSEMBLY, POSITION THE PROXIMAL END OF THE DILATOR AT THE SINGLE POSITIONING MARK ON THE GUIDING CATHETER. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT THE DISTAL TIP OF THE DILATOR IS PROPERLY POSITIONED AT THE SAFETY RIDGE ON THE GUIDING CATHETER TO PREVENT POSSIBLE TRAUMA TO THE POSTERIOR TRACHEAL WALL DURING INTRODUCTION. 16. ADVANCE AND PULL BACK THE DILATING ASSEMBLY SEVERAL TIMES TO EFFECTIVELY DILATE THE TRACHEAL ACCESS SITE. NOTE: THE WIRE GUIDE MUST ALWAYS LEAD THE DILATORY AND THE GUIDING CATHETER ASSEMBLY TO PREVENT POSSIBLE TRAUMA TO THE POSTERIOR TRACHEAL WALL DURING DILATION. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP THE GUIDING CATHETER ASSEMBLY PROPERLY ALIGNED WITH THE MARK ON THE PROXIMAL PORTION OF THE WIRE GUIDE. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT THE TIP OF THE GUIDING CATHETER ASSEMBLY DOES NOT ADVANCE BEYOND THE DISTAL TIP OF THE WIRE GUIDE WITHIN THE TRACHEA¿¿ EVIDENCE PROVIDED UPON REVIEW OF THE DMR, PRODUCT LABELING, DHR, AND DEVICE FAILURE ANALYSIS, DOES NOT INDICATE THE DEVICE WAS MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF NONCONFORMING MATERIAL IN HOUSE OR IN THE FIELD. BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, EXAMINATION OF THE RETURNED PRODUCT, AND THE RESULTS OF OUR INVESTIGATION, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT COMPONENT FAILURE WITHOUT ANY DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT TOO MUCH FORCE WAS USED WHEN ADVANCING THE BLUE RHINO AND WHITE CATHETER INTO THE PATIENT, BUT THIS CANNOT BE CONFIRMED. THE APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. PER THE RISK ASSESSMENT NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED. WE 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.
