Event Description
|
It was reported that proximal filter damage occurred.A sentinel cerebral protection system (cps) was selected for use during a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (tavi) procedure.The proximal filter of the sentinel cps was deployed.The position of the proximal filter was suboptimal, so the physician elected to reposition the sentinel cps.The proximal filter of the sentinel cps was recaptured, repositioned, and attempted to be redeployed in the brachiocephalic artery.However, the proximal filter slider on the handle of the sentinel cps did not respond, and the proximal filter was not able to be re-deployed.Upon removal from the patient, the proximal filter bag was observed to be separate from the frame of the proximal filter.A new sentinel cps was prepared and successfully used to complete the procedure.No patient complications were reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr.: the sentinel cps was returned to boston scientific (bsc) and was analyzed by a bsc quality engineer.Visual analysis revealed a sheathed proximal filter, a relaxed articulating distal sheath (ads), a sheathed distal filter, and a kinked distal filter slider.A functional test was performed and found that the proximal filter was able to be easily unsheathed using the proximal filter slider before flushing of the sentinel cps.
