Event Description
|
It was reported that a versacross connect access solution was selected for use.During the preparation of the device, the scrub tech noticed resistance with trying to advance the versacross dilator into the sheath.Then, with attempting to retract the handle of the versacross dilator snapped off.Looking at the end of the dilator connection it appeared to be a crack (present in the insertion of the dilator to handle).This device was not used in the patient.Therefore, a new device was opened to be used.No patient complications were noted.The procedure was completed successfully.The device is expected to be returned for analysis.The method the device was removed from the package could possibly be the cause, but based on the crack noted is less likely.No excessive force was applied to break the handle off the shaft.No damage noticed prior to inserting into the sheath.It was insured that the removal from tray was removing all plastic covering and lifting up at the hinge point.No other issue was noted.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device has been received for analysis.Upon receipt at boston scientific's post market laboratory, the device was visually inspected, which revealed that the hub of the dilator has been detached from the shaft.There was clean slit and flaring at end of snap-tip of the hub.The snap tip also had stress marks.Also, it was found a damage on the shaft, approximately 4 mm from the end of the extrusion.Further, the failure was reproduced on an undamaged dilator by using excessive force to bend the dilator.The testing recreated the damage as reported in the complaint and thus confirmed the allegation.This supplemental mdr is being filed to report investigation results (bsc awareness date: 16-apr-2024).Also, a correction to the initial and first supplemental mdr reports sent: e1 (initial reporter address 1 & 2, initial reporter city, initial reporter zip/post code and initial reporter fax).
