Manufacturer Narrative

As reported, the physician was performing a left heart catherization using a 6f.072 jl3 100cm adroit guiding catheter that did not retract all the way out of the sheath.The device felt stuck on the distal end of the sheath.After advancing the device and retracting it multiple times, the physician was able to retract all the way outside of the sheath for complete removal.Patient was not harmed during the procedure.The physician inspected the device and noticed a kink in it which he has never seen before.Staff said that the physician was in a hurry and was just retracting it real fast and may have over torqued it causing the kink.The device was opened in a sterile field, prepped, and stored as per the instructions for use.There was no difficulty experienced in prepping the device.The device was not resterilized.There were no anomalies noted when the device was taken out of the package, during or after the device was prepped.The access site was femoral.A contralateral approach was not used.Vessel characteristics accessing target /access site, showed no showed no calcification, tortuosity, stenosis, acute angle, or bifurcation.One non-sterile 6f.072 jl3 100cm adroit guiding catheter was received for analysis.The concomitant mentioned sheath involved in the complaint was not returned for evaluation.Per visual analysis, no anomalies or damages were observed on the distal end of the catheter.However, a kink was observed on the body shaft 86.6 cm from the id band.An insertion/withdrawal test was performed on the returned unit using a lab sample guide wire and a lab sample catheter sheath introducer (csi).The guiding catheter with the inserted guide wire was passed through the lab sample csi.Resistance was experienced during the insertion test due to the kink on the body shaft when passing the catheter through the csi unit.Inner diameter (id) and outer diameter (od) measurements were taken near the damages and were found within specification.A product history record (phr) review could not be performed because the lot number for this product is unknown.The reported complaint ¿catheter (body/shaft)- withdrawal difficulty - through sheath¿ was confirmed due to the difficulty experienced during the insertion /withdrawal test.The complaint ¿catheter (body/shaft)- kinked/bent¿ was also confirmed due to the kink found on the body shaft of the unit.Procedural/handling factors such as rapidly withdrawing the catheter may have contributed to the reported event.Users are trained to inspect for signs of damage prior to and during use.Any product with damage is not to be used.Information for safety is provided in the products labeling with the intent to make the user aware of the risks.According to the instructions for use (ifu), although not intended as a mitigation of risk, ¿inspect the guiding catheter before use to verify that its size, shape and condition are suitable for the specific procedure.Advancement, manipulation and withdrawal of the guiding catheter should always be performed under fluoroscopic guidance.¿ based on the available information, there is no indication that the event is related to the device design or manufacturing process.Therefore, no preventative or corrective actions will be taken at this time.
