[54415675]
Investigation summary: an internal complaint ((b)(4)) was received reporting that a foley catheter with a temperature sensor (81-080408) failed during use. The customer reported the temperature portion of the device stopped functioning. This report is one of seven total filed by the reporting customer in reference to the finished good number. According to the initial complaint report, these incidents occurred over a period of several months, and the customer chose to file them at one time in a batch. No lot numbers were provided, and a sample was available for only one of the seven reported incidents. For this incident, neither a lot number nor defective sample was available. A shipping inquiry by box identification showed that four cases of finished good (b)(4) were ordered by the reporting customer in 2013 and shipped on july 11, 2013. The lot number shipped to the customer was 32608900, which was manufactured july 2, 2013. Review of this work order shows no discrepancies that would have contributed to the reported issue. The finished good assembly consists of the following raw materials that are assembled as detailed below: * raw material part number 74-12088w (foley catheter wire supplied by (b)(4)) is received at the manufacturing plant. After receiving, a connector is molded to the wire set and a continuity test is conducted to ensure the thermistor chip has not had any affectation. The raw material is converted to part number 74-12088cr (molded foley catheter wire set) and shipped to (b)(4). * once (b)(4) has received the product, the part is converted into part number 74-12089 (foley catheter 8 fr) and shipped to the plant in (b)(4) for packaging. It is here the part number is converted to the finished good part number of 81-080408. The two most recent work orders for raw material part 74-12088cr were reviewed and no rejects were reported during the manufacturing process. Because the raw material wire is supplied by (b)(4), a supplier corrective action request (scar) was issued to the vendor on august 29, 2016. The investigation is ongoing at this time. When new and critical information is received, this report will be updated.

The foley catheter with a thermometer stopped working. The connection seems to be correct, but continuous temperature stopped appearing on the screen, which makes manual temperature reading necessary. The product was being used to monitor the patient's temperature using a urine catheter temperature probe.

Root cause: the raw material wire is supplied by degania silicone, and therefore, a supplier corrective action request (scar) was issued to degania. In scar response, degania stated a proper investigation could not be performed because samples were not returned for evaluation and batch numbers were unknown. As part of the manufacturing process, catheters are 100 percent tested for temperature reading accuracy. Corrective action: in its scar response, degania indicated a corrective action has not been taken. Investigation summary: an internal complaint (b)(4) was received reporting that a foley catheter with a temperature sensor (b)(4) failed during use. The customer reported the temperature portion of the device stopped functioning. This report is one of seven total filed by the reporting customer in reference to the finished good number. According to the initial complaint report, these incidents occurred over a period of several months, and the customer chose to file them at one time in a batch.

The raw material is converted to part number 74-12088cr (molded foley catheter wire set) and shipped to (b)(4). Once (b)(4) has received the product, the part is converted into part number 74-12089 (foley catheter 8 fr) and shipped to the plant in (b)(4) for packaging. It is here the part number is converted to the finished good part number of 81-080408. The two most recent work orders for raw material part 74-12088cr were reviewed and no rejects were reported during the manufacturing process. The last shipment of raw material 74-12088 cr was sent to (b)(4) in 2014. Because the raw material wire is supplied by (b)(4), a supplier corrective action request (scar) was issued to the vendor on august 29, 2016, and a due date of october 12, 2016, was assigned. A response was not received on this date. A corrective and preventive action point was opened and assigned to (b)(4) chain management to assist in obtaining a response from (b)(4). A scar response was received december 2, 2016. The failure mode and effects analysis (fmea) was reviewed and it was determined no updates are needed at this time. Preventive action: in its scar response, (b)(4) indicated a preventive action has not been taken at this time. The investigation is complete at this time. If new and critical information is received, this report will be updated.
