Event Description

The user has several complaints about the oscor adelante 6f introducer kits and wished to express her dissatisfaction.The implanting physician explained that these introducer kits allow bleeding when the lead is inserted even though they are labeled as 6f, they seem to have a larger inner diameter.Furthermore, the implanter finds that the introducers are "sticky" and expresses difficulty when trying to double wire when gaining access to the vein.This is also an issue when they try to reposition the lead while it is still in the sheath, she explained that it is very difficult to pull back on the lead as it sticks to the inner lumen of the sheath.Finally, when using passive leads, if the lead needs to be repositioned and removed from the patient, she is finding that the tines are getting stuck on the tip of the introducer, and she is not able to pull it back through.What this means is that she is having to split the sheath and find venous access again.Not only is this frustrating but it lengthens the case which increases the risk of infection, fluoroscopy exposure and pneumothorax.The procedure was successful.Patient was not subject to procedures which might have damaged this device.Event took place during the implantation procedure.The event did not cause patient adverse event.The device was discarded.The implanting physician did not believe that there was a deficiency with the product but was rather expressing her dissatisfaction with the products design.This report is for administrative purposes only.
