Event Description
|
It was reported that guidewire entrapment occurred.The target lesion was located in a non-tortuous, completely thrombosed superficial femoral artery.An angiojet solent omni thrombectomy catheter was selected for a thrombectomy procedure.The guidewire used was a non-boston scientific (bsc) guidewire.At the start of the procedure, everything went smoothly; however, at one point during the procedure, a lot of resistance was felt.The physician withdrew the catheter and tried, after inspection, to load the catheter on the wire again.It looked like the catheter got stuck on the wire.The physician withdrew the catheter again, and a slight buckle and kink in the proximal and middle portions of the catheter were observed.The wire did not go into the hub anymore, and it looked like the hydrophilic coating was damaged.The wire and the catheter were removed as one unit, and with some force, the wire was able to be removed from the catheter outside of the patient.The procedure was completed with a new non-bsc guidewire and a new angiojet solent omni thrombectomy catheter.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Device evaluation by manufacturer: the product was returned to boston scientific for analysis.Returned product consisted of an angiojet solent omni catheter.Media was returned in the form of photos.The photos were reviewed which showed only the device packaging.No complaint information from the photos aided in the analysis of the complaint.The pump assembly, effluent/supply line, shaft, tip, and spike line were visually examined for damage or any irregularities.The catheter shaft showed multiple bends and kinks.No guidewire was received with the device.A.035 guidewire was used to verify functionality of the device per the instructions for use.The guidewire was inserted into the wire lumen and passed through the tip of the device with slight resistance at the severe kink located at 24.5 cm from the tip and retracted with no issues.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage revealed no other damage or irregularities.The complaint was not confirmed for any issues related to the alleged complaint, however, product analysis found damage that could have contributed to the reported event.The complaint was not confirmed for any guidewire issues and passed through the device.
