As reported, during prep before a radiofrequency ablation puncture, hair was found at the distal end of the 8f standard (std) avanti plus catheter sheath introducer (csi) with guidewire (gw) no obturator (obt).There was a "black object" on the distal end of the device; similar to hair.The device was replaced immediately.There was no reported patient injury.There was no adverse event with this reported issue.This was noticed during prep, when the device was out of the package.The device was stored as per the instructions for use (ifu).There was no damage to the sterile packaging.The product had not been reshelved after previous opening in anticipation of use.Sterile protocol was maintained in the procedure room.The hospital has chosen to report this as an adverse event to the nmpa directly.The device is expected to be returned for analysis.

After further review of additional information received the following sections have been updated accordingly: g3, g6, h1, h2, h3, h6, and h10 complaint conclusion: during prep of a radiofrequency ablation puncture, hair was found at the distal end of an 8f standard (std) avanti plus catheter sheath introducer (csi) with guidewire (gw) no obturator (obt).There was a "black object" on the distal end of the device, similar to hair.The device was replaced immediately.There was no adverse event with this reported issue.This was noticed when the device was out of the package and during prep.The device was stored as per the instructions for use (ifu).There was no damage to the sterile packaging.The product had not been reshelved after previous opening in anticipation of use.Sterile protocol was maintained in the procedure room.The hospital has chosen to report this as an adverse event to the nmpa directly.There was no reported patient injury.The device was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 17936012 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿catheter sheath introducer (csi) ¿ foreign material- during prep¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.Procedural factors, such as unsterile technique during prep, may have contributed to the reported event.Users are instructed to examine devices prior to use for any damages.According to the ifu, which is not intended as a mitigation of risk, ¿do not use if package is open or damaged.Remove csi from package using sterile technique.¿ neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.
