Event Description

Provider reported the patient continued to have blood leaking around the cervical seal [device ineffective].Case narrative: this initial spontaneous report originating from the united states was received from a physician via clinical account specialist (cas), referring to a female patient of unknown age.The patient's medical history included singleton pregnancy and vaginal delivery.Her current conditions included gravida 2 and para 2 (also reported as "2nd baby").She had uterine atony with a "boggy lower uterine segment" and was treated with carboprost trometamol (hemabate) and methylergometrine maleate (methergine) prior to vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) use (also reported as treatment; discrepancy).Her past drugs and allergies were not reported.This report concerned 1 patient and 1 device.On (b)(6) 2023, the patient was inserted with vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) via vaginal route (lot #, serial # and expiry date were not reported) by the physician for vaginal bleeding postpartum (postpartum haemorrhage).The physician reported that she inflated the seal to 120 and tried to push the device up to the uterine fundus but she thought that she pushed it through the cervix.The patient continued to have blood leaking around the cervical seal (device ineffective, onset date: (b)(6) 2023).Therefore, it was removed on the same day and a bakri balloon was placed which controlled the bleeding.On an unknown date in (b)(6) 2023, the patient was hospitalized due to the event.The patient lost a total of 1700 ml of blood.Reportedly, it was the first use of the vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) by the physician and the cas stated that the physician needed more training.It was also reported that more than 1 device was not used.The device was not removed and reinserted for any reason.An ultrasound was not used at any point to evaluate during vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) use.The suspected cause of the postpartum haemorrhage was uterine atony.No additional adverse event (ae)/product quality complaint (pqc) was identified.It was unknown if the vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) was available for evaluation.Upon internal review, the event of device ineffective was considered to be serious as it required intervention.When the lot number is unknown, a technical investigation of the specific manufacturing process which includes review of records associated with a known lot number cannot be performed.Medical device reporting criteria: serious injury.Fda code: (health effects - health impact per annex f): 4641 unexpected medical intervention (patient required an unforeseen medical intervention, excluding surgery, which was not on the original treatment plan).
