Event Description

The user facility reported that the r2p device involved was kinked and broken.Additional information was received on (b)(6) 2022: after the destination slender was removed from the patient, it was noted that the distal portion of the sheath was kinked and broken.The device either broke during procedure or during removal.It was noted that the sheath was pulled out of patient, but there were no issues removing the sheath.Once removed from the patient, there were no issues inside the body.The procedure was completed successfully.The patient was in stable condition.There was no blood loss.Uncertain it is related to the break, the lab noted there was a steep iliac bifurcation.There were no devices or other products used with the above product.

Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow-up no.2 to update section , and to provide the completed investigation results.One r2p destination slender was returned for product evaluation.The returned sample included is the sheath.The sample was subjected to visual analysis.There was a kink found 29.3cm from the sheath hub.The site of the kink was inspected under a microscope and the coil was found to have torn through the pebax outer layer.The coil also appeared to be broken.The complaint can be confirmed for mechanical separation.The exact root cause cannot be determined.The likely root cause is the sheath was kinked during the procedure and the kinking led to the eventual breakage.Review of device history record (dhr) review showed there were no issues noted during manufacture of the product that could have contributed to this complaint condition.Currently no action is recommended since this risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the failure mode and effects analysis (fmea).
