    EVENT DATE IS ESTIMATED BASED UPON REPORT DATE (EVENT DATE MAY BE EARLIER). THIS MDR GROUPS FOUR COMPLAINTS WHICH ARE ON THE SAME MODEL NUMBER AND FOR THE SAME ISSUE. ENTERED DATE IS EARLIEST OF THE FOUR. THE REMAINING THREE WERE REPORTED ON (B)(6) 2018. MODEL NUMBER IS XERIDIEM PART NUMBER. CATALOG NUMBER IS PART NUMBER FOR COOK MEDICAL, XERIDIEM'S EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR FOR THIS DEVICE. SINCE LOT NUMBER IS UNKNOWN, EXPIRATION DATE AND FULL UDI ARE NOT KNOWN. DEVICE SAMPLES HAVE BEEN RETURNED ON 2 OF THE 4 COMPLAINTS AND ONE MORE RETURNED SAMPLE IS ANTICIPATED. DATE OF RETURN IS ESTIMATED BASED ON DATE OF EVALUATION. A FOLLOW-UP REPORT WILL ONLY BE PROVIDED IF THERE IS A DIFFERENT FINDING ON THE LAST RETURN. INITIAL REPORTER LISTED IS FOR 3 OF THE 4 COMPLAINTS. THE OTHER ONE WAS REPORTED BY (B)(6). DATE LISTED IS FOR FIRST OF THE 4 COMPLAINTS. THE OTHER THREE WERE REPORTED ON (B)(6) 2018. EVALUATION WAS COMPLETED ON RETURNED DEVICES FROM TWO OF THE COMPLAINTS. ONE MORE DEVICE RETURN IS ANTICIPATED. DATE OF MANUFACTURE CANNOT BE DETERMINED SINCE LOT NUMBER IS UNKNOWN. CONCLUSION CODE INDICATES THE KNOWN ISSUE WHICH IS RESOLVED BY CHANGE RECENTLY CLEARED IN K171347. XERIDIEM IS PRESENTLY WORKING THROUGH PRODUCTION IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE.

    THE ENFIT CAPS AND FEEDING PORT CONNECTIONS ARE BREAKING. THERE ARE SMALL CRACKS IN THE CAPS THEMSELVES AND THE THREADED FLANGES ARE BREAKING OFF. THE PATIENT IS ALSO USING TOOLS TO GET CAPS UNSTUCK. THE CAPS NEED TO BE TIGHTENED DOWN HARD OR ELSE THEY LEAK. THE ENFIT THAT IS GLUED INTO TUBE IS BREAKING WHEN PATIENTS TRY TO WIGGLE THE ENFIT CONNECTION OUT OF THE FEEDING PORTS.
