Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with lot 18130355 presented no issues during the manufacturing process that can be related to the reported event.Additional information is pending and will be submitted within 30 days upon receipt.

Event Description

As reported, a 5f 65cm 5sh universal flush (uf) tempo catheter stuck onto an unknown wire and then broke as the physician pulled on the catheter.As it was pulled, the catheter was stretched and broke.Approximately 1 inch of the tip of the catheter, that broke, was left in the patient.At that time, the physician was able to snare out the broken piece.The retrieval of the broken catheter from the patient's body was confirmed under fluoroscopy and contrast pictures.The patient went to recovery and had no issues after the procedure.The complaint device was used in a diagnostic procedure and was stored and prepped according to the instructions for use (ifu).The physician was trained in the use of this device.There was no vessel tortuosity.There was normal vessel angulation.The device was not used for a chronic total occlusion (cto).The device was not re-sterilized.There were no anomalies noted when removed from the package and no anomalies noted during prep.The device was not inserted through a stopcock instead of a hemostatic valve.Resistance was met while advancing the device over the guidewire.The device will be returned for evaluation.

Manufacturer Narrative

After further review of additional information received the following sections have been updated accordingly: b3, d8, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3, h6, and h10.Complaint conclusion: as reported, a 5f 65cm 5sh universal flush (uf) tempo catheter stuck onto an unknown wire and then broke as the physician pulled on the catheter.Resistance was met while advancing the device over the guidewire.As the catheter was pulled, it was stretched and broke.Approximately 1 inch of the tip of the catheter, that broke, was left in the patient.At that time, the physician was able to snare out the broken piece.The retrieval of the broken catheter from the patient's body was confirmed under fluoroscopy and contrast pictures.The patient went to recovery and had no issues after the procedure.The complaint device was used in a diagnostic procedure and was stored and prepped according to the instructions for use (ifu).The physician was trained in the use of this device.There was no vessel tortuosity.There was normal vessel angulation.The device was not used for a chronic total occlusion (cto).The device was not re-sterilized.There were no anomalies noted when removed from the package and no anomalies noted during prep.The device was not inserted through a stopcock instead of a hemostatic valve.The device was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 18130355 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿catheter-separated- in patient¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.While it is not possible to determine an exact cause for the event there are procedural factors such as insufficient flushing of the catheter that can lead to resistance friction on a guide wire and separation.According to the instructions for use (ifu), although not intended as a mitigation of risk, ¿before use, flush all devices entering a vessel with sterile heparinized saline or similar isotonic solution.Keep catheter filled with either flushing solution or contrast medium while the catheter is in the vascular system and consider the se of systemic heparinization.Forcibly aspirate and flush the catheter with heparinized saline solution at least every two minutes.¿ based on the information available and the phr review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device design or manufacturing process.Therefore, no preventative or corrective actions will be taken at this time.
