As reported, during a procedure involving clot removal of the upper extremity with possible angioplasty, stenting, and placement of a tunneled dialysis catheter, the wire included in a micropuncture transitionless access set separated in the patient upon removal and was unable to be retrieved.Access was obtained in the left upper extremity.There were reportedly no adverse effects to the patient, who developed a mild hematoma during the procedure.The patient was referred to an interventional radiologist for possible wire removal.Additional information has been requested.

Summary of event: as reported, during a procedure involving clot removal of the upper extremity with possible angioplasty, stenting, and placement of a tunneled dialysis catheter, the wire included in a micropuncture transitionless access set separated in the patient upon removal and was unable to be retrieved.Access was obtained in the left upper extremity.There were reportedly no adverse effects to the patient, who developed a mild hematoma during the procedure.The patient was referred to an interventional radiologist for possible wire removal.Correction: d9, h3: the complaint device was not returned to cook for investigation.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu), and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned to cook for investigation.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.No related non-conformances were found.One other complaint was found for this lot number; however, the complaint is unrelated to this failure mode.The ifu cautions ¿do not attempt to insert or withdraw the wire guide and/or introducer if resistance is felt¿; and ¿withdrawal or manipulation of the distal spring coil portion of the mandril wire guide through a needle tip may result in breakage¿.The ifu instructs the user: ¿do not withdraw the wire guide through the introducer needle; breakage may result.If the wire guide tip must be withdrawn while the needle is inserted, remove both the needle and the wire as a unit.¿ the information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, and ifu suggests that there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 a component failure unrelated to the design or manufacturing of the device 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.
