Event Description
It was reported by the bas tm to fa that a patient went into ventricular tachycardia (vt) shortly after having a picc placed with a site rite 8 ((b)(4)) and sherlock 3cg sensor ((b)(4)) with diamond technology.The rn attributes the vt to malposition of the picc based on sherlock 3cg and diamond readings.The picc trim length was noted at 49 cm.Vt occurred post picc placement.The patients rn pulled the picc line back a few centimeters when vt was noticed while attending to the patient¿s bpap.Vt subsided when rn released the picc but occurred an unspecified time later.It was recommended by the intensivist that the picc was pulled back 12 cm.Radiology pulled the picc back 4 cm and found the picc to be in the lower svc.The patient is now stable and in good condition after several repositions of the catheter.After evaluating the attached images of ecg strips and chest films, it is thought that the issue may be user related where they're relying on the magnet tracking rather than the patient ecg, which is not indicated for proper use in the system ifu.The picc team is fairly new and was unable to start using the 3cg technology due to ultrasound unavailability shortly after training.Fa is working with the tm and dm to get a bas cns or engineer to the hospital site to evaluate the rn's process for placing picc's.Diamond features have been deactivated on the site rite 8 device until the rn's get more training on reading the patient ecg properly.Ongoing follow-up w/sales rep and clinician for more info.
 
Manufacturer Narrative
The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, trend analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), applicable fmea documents, labeling, and applicable manufacture records.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint is inconclusive as only photo samples could be obtained and the physical sample was not returned for evaluation.Photo evaluations were performed and provides evidence suggesting a malpositioned picc, however the root cause could not be determined without physical evaluation of the equipment used.Manufacturing records were reviewed and no potential contributing factors were found during manufacture and quality inspection of the device.
