Event Description

Terumo medical received an fda medwatch report # mw5115543.The event description states: patient was admitted for outpatient interventional radiology (ir) for staged procedures.At the completion of the arteriogram, embolization prior to cryoablation, a small metallic foreign body was seen persisting in the region of intervention on review of imaging films.After cessation of the procedure, separate radiographs of the pelvis and right hip were obtained, as well as a focused ultrasound, demonstrating an apparent retained section of wire within the subcutaneous tissues.Superficial to the right femoral artery and vein, normal flow was established at the right common femoral artery and vein.Retrieval was felt to be more traumatic than the potential for complications, therefore no retrieval attempt was made at the time.Subsequent attempt to remove the foreign body later was unsuccessful.Additional information was received on 21 mar 2023: the broken wire was confirmed to still be within the patient.The date of the attempt to remove the wire was (b)(6) 2022.The patient was in stable condition.Additional information was received on 22 mar 2023: there was no harm to the patient's organs or vessels.

Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow-up no.1 to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device has not been returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.When the device is returned the complaint will be reopened.The complaint cannot be confirmed since the sample was not available for evaluation.The exact root cause cannot be determined.The likely root cause is there was resistance during guidewire removal that led to the breakage.The device history record (dhr) review determined that the device was in a conforming state when released from terumo control.There is no indication that any manufacturing issues may have led to this event.Currently no action is recommended since this risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the failure mode and effects analysis (fmea).
