Staff could never achieve adequate suction and the jada was removed.Patient ended up getting a hysterectomy for continued bleeding [device issue] reporter states they initially put air in the cervical seal and then removed it and put a sterile fluid [wrong technique in device usage process] case narrative: this initial spontaneous report originating from the united states, was received from a physician via company representative, referring to a non-pregnant female patient of an unknown age.The patient's medical history included pregnancy and delivery, and her concurrent conditions included hospitalization.Her past drugs, allergies and concomitant medications were not reported.This report concerns 1 patient and 1 device.On an unknown date, the patient had vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) inserted (lot#, serial # and expiration date were not reported) via vaginal route for postpartum hemorrhage by the physician.The reporter stated that there was some trouble achieving suction, because the wall suction nearest the patient was not functional and they had to add 6 feet (ft) additional suction tubing to what was provided with the vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system).Reporter stated that they initially put air in the cervical seal and then removed it and put a sterile fluid (wrong technique in device usage process).Reporter also stated that they were concerned that possibly the vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) was not placed correctly but was on top of the cervix and that was affecting its functioning.Staff could never achieve adequate suction and the vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) was removed.Patient ended up getting a hysterectomy for continued bleeding (device issue).Staff reported that while the vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) was inserted the uterus was toned, once it was removed it was boggy again.The patient sought medical attention, and the reporter also stated that they believed the lack of suction nearest the patient might have been a factor.No further information was known at the time of reporting.The availability of vacuum-induced hemorrhage control system (jada system) was unknown.Upon internal review, the event of device issue was determined to be serious as it required intervention.Medical device reporting criteria: serious injury.(b)(4).
