Gallstones are small blobs of hardened matter which form out of liquid in the gall bladder, and can block intestinal tubes, causing painful and occasionally fatal damage.
Andersen Products, Haw River, NC, was cited for a variety of validation deficiencies in a June 28 letter by the Atlanta District Office following an April 19-29 audit of the firm's manufacturing and distribution operations for sterile medical devices including nasogastric tubes, sump pumps/tubes, intestinal tubes and wound drainage tubes.
The agency also termed the devices misbranded because the company failed to submit Medical Device Reporting information regarding a nasogastric tube and a Miller-Abbott type intestinal tube.
