Additional information was received on 16jul2021: the event occurred after insertion of the device, and therefore it did make patient contact.Access was gained through the femoral vein to renal vein.The sheath was in place for 24 hours.A septal injection and saline flush were also done.The patient's outcome was noted to be stable.No evidence of tortuous, scarred, or calcified anatomy.

Event summary: as reported, during a balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (brto) and using a performer mullins guiding sheath, the haemostatic value started leaking after the insertion of equalizer balloon.Access was gained through the femoral vein to renal vein.The sheath was in place for 24 hours.A septal injection and saline flush were also done.No evidence of tortuous, scarred, or calcified anatomy.The patient's outcome was noted to be stable.No unintended section of the device remained inside of the patient's body.No additional procedures were required due to the occurrence.No adverse effects were reported due to the occurrence.Investigation - evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use, manufacturing instructions, and quality control procedures and a visual inspection of the device were conducted during the investigation.One rcfw-14.0-38-75-rb-mts was returned to cook for investigation in a used condition.Several kinks were noted on the sheath.Tip damage was observed on the dilator, and the tip was out of round.The hemostatic valve leak was unable to be recreated.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.No related non-conformances were recorded, and there have been no other reported complaints for this lot number.The device history record review provides objective evidence that the device was manufactured to specification.There is no evidence of nonconforming devices from the complaint lot in house or in the field.A review of relevant manufacturing documents was conducted.No gaps in production or processing controls were noted.There is no indication that a design or process related failure mode contributed to the reported event.Reviews of production and quality documentation did not observe any specific issues with current manufacturing or quality controls that may have contributed to this incident.Sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.The device is provided with instructions for use which caution, ¿the maximum diameter of the instrument or catheter to be introduced should be determined to ensure its passage through the introducer.All instruments or catheters used with this product should move freely through the valve and sheath.Damage to the valve/introducer may result when the fit is tight,¿ and, ¿before removing or inserting devices through the introducer, aspirate through the side-arm of the valve to clear the introducer, then flush with heparinized saline.¿ based on the available information, cook has concluded that a component failure contributed to this event.Cook will continue monitoring of similar complaints and has notified the appropriate personnel of this event.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
