After shuttling down the sealant of a 6f/7f mynxgrip vascular closure device (vcd), the unknown sheath was removed and noticed that the sealant was attached to the distal end of the sheath.Therefore, the balloon was removed, and manual compression was held.There was no reported patient injury.The doctor was trained with mynxgrip vcd.The product was stored as per labeling and prepped according to the instruction for use (ifu).The device was returned for analysis.A 6f/7f mynx grip vascular closure device was returned for evaluation.Per visual analysis, the shuttle was engaged to the handle, the sealant sleeve was displaced towards the handle, the procedural sheath was on the catheter, and the advancer tube was sent separately.It was reported that the sealant was noticed to be attached to the distal end of the sheath, however the sealant was not returned.Per functional analysis, since the condition of the returned device indicates complete removal, the shuttle was engaged, the advancer tube was out, and the sealant was not returned, a functional test could not be performed.Per microscopic analysis, the procedural sheath was removed from the catheter and inspected for any damages that could have affected the sealant to adhere to it, however, no anomaly was observed.The sealant was not found on the returned procedure sheath or the catheter.A product history review of lot f2100801, revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿sealant stuck to device components¿ was not confirmed during analysis of the returned device.The exact cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.Procedural factors may have contributed to the reported event.According to the instructions for use (ifu) which is not intended as a mitigation of risk, remove device, it instructs users to ensure complete balloon deflation, then slowly withdraw the balloon catheter through the advancer tube lumen.Failure to hold the advancer tube in place and/or a proper position of the tamping tube was not maintained during catheter removal, the sealant could be dislodged from the vessel wall, resulting in the reported incident.Neither the phr review nor the product analysis suggests that the reported event could be related to the manufacturing process of the unit.Therefore, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
