Event Description

As reported, the catheter tip of a 6f infiniti catheter amplatz right (ar) 2 100 cm was torn during withdrawal of the catheter.The distal tip became separated from the catheter during use and was noted upon removal from the patient.The damage was reported as separated and frayed/split /torn.The torn tip was secured by a loop (there was a kink at the tip that resulted from the loop).There was no reported patient injury.The intended procedure was reported to be a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta).The access site was radial, and the target lesion was in the right coronary.Lesion calcification and vessel tortuosity was mild with less than twenty-five percent (25%) stenosis.The device was not used for a chronic total occlusion (cto).There was no device damage noticed prior to opening the package.The product was stored, handled, and prepped according to the instructions for use (ifu).There was no difficulty experienced in prepping the device.The patient was not hospitalized or required extended hospitalization because of this event.The device was returned for analysis.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was received for analysis, but the engineering report is not yet available.Additional information is pending and will be submitted within 30 days upon receipt.
