Event Description

As reported by hospital, patient was brought to the redial cath lab on (b)(6) 2018 for a coronary angiogram which turned into a percutaneous coronary intervention.The leak in the y-adaptor caused an air injection into the coronary vessels resulting in an st-elevation with hemodynamic changes.There was no delay of care, care was immediate, no additional injury or medical treatment was needed.The patient was seen on (b)(6) 2018 for a follow-up and was doing fine.The used y-adaptor will be returned to angiodynamics for evaluation.

Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the device history records was performed for the indicated packaging and component lots for any deviations related to the reported defect of the complaint.The review confirms that the lots met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The recent angiodynamics complaint report was reviewed for the y-adaptor product family and the failure mode "air bubbles."no adverse trend was identified.This is the only reported complaint for this failure mode in the past 15 months for the y-adaptor product family and, as such, may be considered an isolated incident.The reported complaint description is deemed confirmed and is a result of a missing component (gland/washer).The most likely root cause for this type of failure is that responsible employees failed to follow proper procedures as outlined in the assembly instructions for the y-adaptor.A department-wide awareness for manufacturing associates who work in the manual assembly area has been performed on the applicable procedures.Although the operators involved in assembling the device from the reported lot are no longer employed by angiodynamics, signed training record show that the employees were trained on the applicable procedures at the time the lots were manufactured.Manufacturing process controls for the y-adaptor include 100% visualization for damage, foreign matter, or missing components and in-process air leak testing.(b)(4).
