Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was a percutaneous coronary intervention performed with a 3.75 x 15 mm nc trek dilatation catheter.The nc trek was unable to be advanced over a balance middle weight (bmw) guide wire.The guide wire would not exit the guide wire exit notch.The nc trek was not introduced in the patient.A new nc trek was successfully used with the same bmw guide wire.There was no patient involvement and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.Return device analysis found a stretched segment on the shaft of the nc trek.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Evaluation summary: visual and dimensional inspections and scanning electron microscopy (sem) analysis were performed on the returned device.The reported difficulty positioning the guide wire was confirmed.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulty positioning the guide wire and the noted wrinkled inner and outer member, stretched inner and outer member and chatter marks on the outer member on the returned device appear to be related to a potential product quality issue.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.
