Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation of the wire is not possible as the hospital discarded it by the end of the procedure.According to the device history records, lot number osw-0027 was released according to the specification.Dr0575 was associated to the lot, but has no relation to the complaint (replacement of osw ifus for us market).Nc2782 was also associated to the lot, but not related to the complaint as well (supplied packaging hoop had 4 cavities instead of 3).The physician informed opsens that he was having trouble to advance the wire out of the pigtail, a large force was required, so he switched the pigtail and was able to get savvywire out, it was later concluded that this specific model of pigtail catheter used in conjunction with the savvywire tend to require a large force to deliver the wire.Opsens reached out to the physician for additional information, and he stated the following: ''the timing of the injury that caused the pericardial injury is unknown, but i suspect was withdrawal of the pigtail sheath to allow the savvy wire to be positioned in the ventricle.As you know, we later identified the pigtail from a specific manufacturer to be associated with significant resistance moving across the wire so now avoid that pigtail when possible.I did not feel any abnormal "pop" or other tactile sensation that would have concerned me for an injury.'' opsens conducted several tests on the pigtail in questions when used in conjunction with the savvy wire and did not notice any resistance, the required force to get savvywire out is similar to other pigtail catheters in the market, in fact this pigtail has been used in several other procedures in different hospitals and no issue was reported to the attention of opsens.No additional actions are intended following this incident.
