Complaint conclusion: as reported, hemostasis was not achieved after a 5f mynxgrip vascular closure device (vcd) was removed from the patient's body.The procedure was completed using manual compression.There was no reported patient injury.The device was stored, prepped, and used as per the instructions for use (ifu).The device was used in a transfemoral cerebral angiography (tace).There was no damage to the device prior to opening the package.The user was mynx certified.A 5f non cordis sheath was used.The femoral artery¿s suitability was verified on angiography, including the insertion angle (30-45 degrees) of the vascular sheath introducer.The vessel diameter was verified to be greater than or equal to 5 mm in diameter.There was mild vessel tortuosity.The stick location was the common femoral artery.A non-sterile ¿mynxgrip vascular closure device 5f¿ involved in the reported complaint was returned for investigation.Visual inspection of the received device showed that the shuttle was engaged to the black handle with the stopcock opened.The sealant, procedural sheath and advancer tube were not returned with the device.In addition, the balloon was observed fully deflated.The condition of the returned device is similar to a complete removal of the device.The device was inspected for anomalies which may have contributed to the reported incident and no anomalies were observed.Dimensional analysis was performed to verify the distance between the shuttle tip to the inflated balloon, and it was verified to be within specification.Since the condition of the returned device is similar to a complete removal of the device and the sealant/advancer tube of the returned device were not returned, no functional test could be performed on the returned device.Additionally, there were no visual non-conformities were observed to the returned device.Per microscopic analysis, visual inspection at high magnification showed the slit presence in the outer cartridge.A product history record (phr) review of lot f2304501 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿failure to achieve hemostasis¿ was not confirmed due to the condition of the returned device.The exact cause of the issue experienced by the customer could not be determined.Based on the information available for review and product analysis, it is difficult determine what factors may have contributed to the failure to achieve hemostasis event reported since the device was returned in a condition that suggests the device was completely removed with no damages/anomalies noted.However, patient factors, pharmacological factors and/or handling factors of the device are possible.Failing to achieve hemostasis immediately after vascular closure is a common procedural complication and are frequently related to stick technique, anticoagulation, blood pressure, adequate sheath removal technique, and proper placement of the sealant at the arteriotomy.According to the product¿s ifu, which is not intended as a mitigation, users are informed to maintain fingertip compression on the skin during removal of the advancer tube from the tissue tract and to continue to apply fingertip compression for up to 1 minute or as needed.If hemostasis is not achieved, the user is informed to apply additional compression as necessary.Neither the phr review, nor the product analysis suggest that the reported failure could be related to the design or manufacturing process of the unit.Therefore, no corrective or preventive actions will be taken at this time.
