Summary of event: as reported, during a dialysis graft thrombectomy, a polyethylene angiographic catheter broke off in the patient's arm.Access was gained through the brachial complex.The device broke off at the distal end of the device, near the surface of the skin.The anatomy was not noted to be scarred or tortuous, but a clot was found.The procedure was stopped when the device separated, and the device was successfully removed by a vascular surgeon.Removal was confirmed with imaging and the patient recovered well.The patient was admitted to the hospital to attempt the procedure the following day.No additional patient consequences were reported.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.The customer did not return the complaint device for evaluation; however, an image was provided.The image shows a separated segment of the catheter within the patient¿s arm.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.One relevant non-conformance was noted; however, affected product was scrapped.There are 100% inspections in place to identify this failure mode.There have been no additional complaints on the lot.The product ifu cautions ¿if resistance is encountered during manipulation, stop and determine the cause before proceeding any further.¿ the information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, and ifu suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured to specification.There is no evidence of non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Cook has concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies contributed to this incident.The risk analysis for this failure mode was reviewed and no additional escalation was required.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.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.
