During prep, it was found that there was an air leakage at the interface of a 5f 125cm tempo catheter.The device was immediately replaced with a new unknown product.There was no reported patient injury.The device was used for a renal arteriography which was moderately tortuous, calcified and stenosed.There were no difficulties removing the product from the packaging.There were no damaged to the device packaging.The device was handled according to the instruction for use (ifu).The device was flushed with no difficulties during prep.The device will not be returned for evaluation.The hospital has chosen to report this as an adverse event to the national medical products administration (nmpa) directly.No other information was provided.The device was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 17987977 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.Based on the information provided, it is not possible to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the reported event.Without the return of the device for analysis, the reported customer event ¿catheter (body/shaft)- leakage - during prep¿ could not be confirmed and the exact root cause could not be determined.Procedural/handling factors may have contributed to the reported event.Per the instructions for use (ifu), which is not intended as a mitigation of risk, do not use open or damaged packages.Exposure to temperatures above 54°c (130°f) may damage the catheter.The performance of these products may be impaired if not properly and cautiously handled during unpacking and preparation.For all catheters: keep the catheter filled with either flushing solution or contrast medium while the catheter is in the vascular system and consider the use of systemic heparinization.Forcibly aspirate and flush the catheter with heparinized saline solution at least once every two minutes.¿ neither the phr review nor the information available suggests that the reported failure could be related to the manufacturing process of the unit.Therefore, no corrective or preventative actions will be taken at this time.
