H10: this supplemental mdr is being submitted to report that the device codes sent through initial mdr are not reportable, since an initial mdr has already been submitted to fda as malfunction, the reportability of the file will remain same.H10: manufacturing review: the device history record review was performed for the reported lot number and this lot meets all release criteria.The manufacturing review did not indicate any possible manufacturing issue that could be related to the reported event.Investigation summary: the sample was returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.The returned sample analysis confirmed the guidewire was able to be advanced from the distal tip to the catheter hub but from the catheter hub to the distal tip a thin opaque material exited the distal tip of the catheter.The thin opaque material was the inner layer, hdpe, of the inner lumen.It was reported the health care professional (hcp) used an ipsilateral approach from the cephalic vein to gain patient access with an merit 7 french introducer sheath over an rosen guidewire to treat the target lesion for central stenosis.The hcp prepared the lutonix dcb by flushing the inner lumen of the catheter, successfully.The hcp reportedly was unable to be completely load the guidewire through the catheter.There was additional difficulty removing the lutonix dcb from the introducer sheath after inflation.The hcp reportedly deflated the dcb properly, but became stuck in the sheath.The hcp did not use an additional device to complete the patient's procedure.No adverse patient effects were reported.The root cause of failure to advance over the guidewire due to material separation could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications and the returned sample analysis.Labeling review: instructions for use states, warnings: do not use if product damage is evident.In section 5.4 device use/procedure precautions: always advance and retrieve the lutonix® catheter under negative pressure.In section 12.6 use of the lutonix® catheter in step 2 and 3: 2.With the catheter tip oriented down/vertically, flush the wire lumen.3.Backload the distal tip of the dilatation catheter onto the guidewire.4.While the balloon is still fully deflated and under negative pressure, advance the lutonix® catheter through the introducer sheath and over the wire to the site of inflation.During catheter advancement, inspect the catheter shaft for damage h10: d4 expiry date (01/2021),g4,h6(method: 4111).H11: h6(result and conclusion).H11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
