Manufacturer Narrative

Summary of event: as reported, during an ivc filter removal and using a micropuncture transitionless stiffened cannula access set, the introducer broke off inside of the patient.The physician gained access through the right groin, snared the tip of the wire, and pulled the wire and snare out of the right jugular access.There was no scarring or calcification noted at the access site.There was no resistance noted during insertion or removal of any components.Upon removal of the introducer part of the device broke off.The piece that broke, the distal half of the introducer, came out as it was stuck to the wire.The physician maintained access, pulled the wire back down and finished the procedure.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 (ifu), and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.A visual inspection of the returned complaint device was also conducted.The complainant returned one used and damaged outer introducer from an mpis-401-10.0-sc-nt-sst to cook for investigation.Physical examination of the returned device showed the introducer was separated into two segments.The segment with the hub was 5cm in length, and the other segment was also 5cm in length.Cook completed a review of the device history record (dhr).The dhr for the reported lot number found no relevant non-conformances.A component lot associated with the complaint lot found one relevant non-conformance on six devices for shaft damage, however, the devices were scrapped.Although these non-conformances are relevant to the reported failure mode, all non-conforming product was scrapped, there are 100% inspections to capture this non-conformance, adequate inspection activities have been established, and there are no other lot related complaints that have been received from the field.At this time, cook concluded that no non-conforming product from this lot exists in house or in the field.A device master record (dmr) review was performed, and the device quality control procedures associated with the complaint were identified.Cook has concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.The instructions for use (ifu) provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: ¿when inserting, manipulating or withdrawing a device through an introducer, always maintain introducer position.¿do not attempt to insert or withdraw the wire guide and/or introducer if resistance is felt.The investigation found that the affected component is supplied to cook from an external supplier.The supplier reviewed their production process for the component and the investigation noted that upon review of the provided pictures reveals limited elongation at the failure site, while a review of the tensile data indicates 600-700% elongation prior to failure.This suggests that the integrity of the tube may have been compromised during subsequent processing and handling or during device use or the presence of a defect at the site of failure.However, a definitive root cause cannot be determined.If the tube was bent prior or damaged prior to extraction, this would create a stress riser and lead to the tube failure.There are not any indications that the product failed to meet specifications.Based upon the available information and the results of the supplier investigation, cook has concluded that a component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies contributed to this incident.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.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.
