CORRECTION: D4- MODEL #. INVESTIGATION ¿ EVALUATION. ON (B)(6) 2024, IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE SUTURE STRING OF AN ULTRATHANE MAC-LOC LOCKING LOOP MULTIPURPOSE DRAINAGE CATHETER WAS RETAINED IN THE PATIENT. THE CATHETER WAS PLACED FOR USE AS A CHEST DRAIN TO TREAT LEFT EMPYEMA IN A 73-YEAR-OLD FEMALE PATIENT. LATER, DURING REMOVAL OF THE CATHETER, THE MAC-LOC WAS UNLOCKED WITH NO ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE CATHETER HUB WAS CUT BY THE CARDIOTHORACIC REGISTRAR TO FACILITATE CATHETER REMOVAL, AND THE SUTURE WAS RETAINED IN THE PLEURAL CAVITY. GUIDANCE FROM INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY (IR) REGARDING POTENTIAL REMOVAL HAS BEEN REQUESTED. FOLLOWING-UP IMAGING WAS TAKEN (EITHER A COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SCAN OR A BEDSIDE ULTRASOUND). ADDITIONALLY, CHEST X-RAYS WERE TAKEN IN THE OUTPATIENT CLINIC. THE SUTURE REMAINS IN THE PATIENT. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING POTENTIAL SUTURE REMOVAL WAS REQUESTED BUT NOT PROVIDED. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE PATIENT EXPERIENCED ADVERSE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS DUE TO THIS EVENT. NO OTHER ADVERSE EFFECTS WERE REPORTED FOR THIS INCIDENT. REVIEWS OF THE DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING THE COMPLAINT HISTORY, DEVICE HISTORY RECORD, QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES, INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS OF THE DEVICE, WERE CONDUCTED DURING THE INVESTIGATION. THE COMPLAINT DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVALUATION; THEREFORE, A PHYSICAL EXAMINATION COULD NOT BE CONDUCTED. HOWEVER, A DOCUMENT-BASED INVESTIGATION EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE MASTER RECORD (DMR) CONCLUDED THAT THERE ARE ADEQUATE INSPECTION STEPS CURRENTLY IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THIS FAILURE. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD (DHR) FOR THE REPORTED COMPLAINT DEVICE LOT REVEALED NO RELEVANT NON-CONFORMANCES THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED FAILURE MODE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE WAS ONE OTHER COMPLAINT ASSOCIATED THE FINAL PRODUCT LOT NUMBER FOR THE SAME FAILURE AT THE SAME FACILITY. COOK ALSO REVIEWED PRODUCT LABELING: THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE [T_MULTI2_REV1] SUPPLIED WITH THIS LOT STATE THE FOLLOWING: PRECAUTIONS. -WHEN INSERTING A STIFFENING CANNULA INTO A CATHETER WITH RETENTION SUTURE, HOLD SUTURE DURING CANNULA INSERTION TO AVOID BUNCHING OR TANGLING OF SUTURE. -IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE A WIRE GUIDE WHEN REMOVING A LOCKING LOOP CATHETER. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE UNLOCKING CATHETER LOOP FOR MAC-LOC LOCKING LOOP MECHANISM: A. WHILE STABILIZING THE MAC-LOC CATHETER HUB ASSEMBLY WITH ONE HAND, POSITION A SMALL, BLUNT OBJECT (APPROXIMATELY THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF A BALL POINT PEN OR SMALL FORCEPS) INTO THE MAC-LOC RELEASE NOTCH. B. PRY UPWARD UNTIL THE LOCKING CAM LEVER IS FREE. (FIG. 4). HOW SUPPLIED. UPON REMOVAL ROM PACKAGE, INSPECT THE PRODUCT TO ENSURE NO DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED. EVIDENCE GATHERED UPON REVIEW OF THE DHR, DMR AND IFU SUGGESTS THAT THE DEVICE WAS MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION, AND THAT THERE ARE NO NONCONFORMING DEVICES IN HOUSE OR OUT IN THE FIELD. BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, EXAMINATION OF THE RETURNED PRODUCT, AND THE RESULTS OF OUR INVESTIGATION, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT A COMPONENT FAILURE UNRELATED TO MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFICIENCIES CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED EVENT. THE APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. PER THE QUALITY ENGINEERING RISK ASSESSMENT NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.
