Topic: Medical Devices Risk Management, Quality, and Supply Chain Compliance Case Scenario:
A manufacturer who markets Hydrophilic Wire Guides is dealing with a post-market scenario. The Hydrophilic Wire Guides were notified and subject to potential contamination with glass particles. The manufacturer followed up with a voluntary U.S. and Global Recall and notified its customers for the following actions: 1) Examine inventory immediately to determine if they have received any affected products and to quarantine the affected products; 2) Return affected products to the manufacturers third-party service center.; 3) Even if the customer has not received any contaminated or affected products inventory, they must report and acknowledge via the receipt form and fax to the manufacturer; 4) The customer report any adverse events to the manufacturer via phone/fax or by email during their business hours.
The manufacturer has decided to recall all global markets’ inventory of this device. The reason behind this decision was the discovery of potential coating contamination with glass particles. The quality team has made a proposal to complete a though investigation to determine the root case. To proceed the manufacturer has to notify the FDA and initiate a CAPA. Based upon the probable route for identification of the root cause the company will need to make a determination if this device issue requires preventative or corrective action, or both types.
