Event Description
|
It was reported that the coating peeled off.The target lesion was located in the liver area.A renegade was selected for use.During procedure, after the first session chemo drug injection in a lesion another artery selection was performed.However, the device could not be pushed as the position of the renegade is just in the tip of the rh catheter when observed under angiogram but it can't be push over.Both catheter and guidewire were then removed directly from the patient's body without any friction noted.Upon inspection, the catheter was astringent to touch as the surface was not smooth, thus it was presumed that the hydrophilic coating of renegade catheter might be peeled off during the operation.The procedure was completed with a different device.No complications reported and patient is stable.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.The device was inspected for any damage or irregularities.The renegade showed damage in the hydrophilic coating.Under microscope analysis areas are seen where the coating has sheared off or been pushed back on itself at 60 cm and 62.5 cm.A coating bulge was seen at 45.5 cm from the tip.Stretching was also noted at 7.5 cm to 8.5 cm from the tip.Device analysis determined the condition of the returned device was consistent with the reported information.Peeling or shearing of the coating was observed.There was no evidence of any damage or irregularities contributing to the reported insertion difficulty, which could not be confirmed because the clinical circumstances could not be replicated.
