Event Description
|
It was reported that a failure to resheath the proximal filter occurred.A sentinel cerebral protection system (cps) was used during a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) procedure.The brachiocephalic anatomy was noted to be tortuous.The sentinel cps was advanced into position and the proximal filter was successfully deployed.Due to the vessel tortuosity, the physician was unable to suitably position the distal end of the sentinel cps for distal filter deployment.The physician recaptured the proximal filter and repositioned the sentinel cps.The proximal filter was redeployed; however, the physician was still unable to suitably position the distal end of the sentinel cps for distal filter deployment.The physician attempted to recaptured the proximal filter but was unable to fully resheath the proximal filter.The sentinel cps was removed from the patient with the proximal filter in an unsheathed state.No patient complications were reported.The patient is ok.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The returned device consisted of a sentinel cerebral protection system.Visual inspection of the returned device revealed the proximal filter was partially unsheathed and torn.The distal filter was sheathed.The articulating distal sheath was flexed and the distal filter slider was kinked.During functional testing the articulating distal sheath (ads) was able to be relax using articulation knob (#2) and the proximal filter was unable to be unsheathed using the proximal filter slider (#1).After flushing the proximal filter was able to be unsheathed using proximal filter slider (#1).After deployment the proximal filter was found torn.Using scissors, a transversal cut was performed on the distal part of the outer shaft/sheath.After the cut, a wear was found on the forcing braid of the internal part of the outer shaft/sheath (inner shaft/sheath).Also, multiple holes were found on the proximal filter.
