H10: manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the first complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.Therefore, a device history record review is not required.Investigation summary: the physical sample was returned for evaluation.During the evaluation of the returned halo device the sheath luer hub was disconnected and reconnected to the hemostasis valve successfully.The connection was secure with no issue was observed.No damage was noted on the hemostatis valve spin collar or sheath luer hub.Therefore, the result of the investigation is unconfirmed for the reported connection problem.The root cause for the reported connection problem could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications and sample evaluation.Labeling review: instructions for use for the halo one thin-walled guiding sheath was reviewed and the following sections are applicable: indication for use: the halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath is indicated for use in peripheral arterial and venous procedures requiring percutaneous introduction of intravascular devices.The halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath is not indicated for use in the neuro vasculature or the coronary vasculature.Precautions: 1.The halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath shall only be used by trained physicians.Access procedures should be conducted under fluoroscopic guidance with appropriate x-ray equipment and / or ultrasound.7.Careful attention must be paid to the maintenance of tight valve connections for duration of procedure to avoid blood leakage or the introduction of air into the system.Take remedial action if any excessive blood leakage is observed.8.Insert dilator into the center of the sheath valve.Forced insertion of the dilator which misses the center of the valve may cause damage and result in blood leakage.11.Remove the dilator from the sheath slowly to avoid incomplete closing of the valve resulting in blood leakage.17.Ensure the dilator is in place within the sheath before advancing the sheath as otherwise damage may be caused to the vessel.Directions for use: halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath preparation: 1.Verify the french size is suitable for the procedure and can accommodate the required procedural devices as labeled (figure 3).Remove sheath and dilator from package.2.Prior to use, the air in the sheath and dilator should be removed.To facilitate purging, the device is packaged with the dilator inside the sheath in a reverse direction allowing both to be flushed simultaneously.Select a syringe or inflation device with a 10 ml or larger capacity and fill approximately half of it with sterile saline solution.Prepare the lumen by connecting the syringe or inflation device containing the solution into the stopcock on the side-port of the sheath and flush with the sterile heparinized saline solution (figure 4).Close the stopcock to maintain the air tightness following flushing.3.Prior to use the reverse loaded dilator must be removed from the distal end of the sheath.If not already completed at step 2, the air in the dilator lumen should be removed.To facilitate purging, select a syringe or inflation device with a 10 ml or larger capacity and fill approximately half of it with sterile saline solution.Prepare the lumen by connecting the syringe or inflation device containing the solution into the luer connector of the dilator hub and flushing with the sterile heparinized saline solution 4.Insert the provided vessel dilator through the hemostatic valve and click the dilator hub into place in the valve housing (figures 5 and 6).Use of the halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath: 6.Identify the insertion site, including but not limited to radial, femoral, popliteal, tibial, or pedal access sites and prepare the site using proper aseptic technique and local anesthesia as required.7.At the operator¿s discretion, make a small skin incision at the puncture site with a surgical scalpel.Recommended for scar tissue at the access site.8.Backload the distal tip of the halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath dilator over the prepositioned guidewire and advance the tip to the introduction site.9.Advance the dilator and the sheath through the skin and into the vessel.Grasp the sheath and dilator assembly close to the skin while advancing to avoid buckling, employ a rotating motion while advancing as required.(note: if using a hydrophilic guidewire, ensure that it is kept hydrated with sterile heparinized saline, at all times.) 10.Carefully advance the dilator and the sheath over the wire to the site required within vessel.The radiopaque marker identifies the sheath tip location under fluoroscopy.11.Disconnect the dilator hub from the valve by bending to the side to unsnap from the valve cap (figure 8).Remove the dilator slowly while holding the sheath in place and ensuring the guidewire remains in place (figure 9) as required.12.Load the procedural device over the pre-positioned guidewire.13.Advance the procedural device carefully into the centre of the valve diaphragm and through the sheath to the treatment site (figure 10) while maintaining the sheath position.14.Position the procedural device relative to the lesion to be treated (figure 11) ensuring the active mechanism portion of the procedural device is not within the sheath.15.Following use ensure the procedural device is fully deactivated before carefully withdrawing the procedural device through the sheath while maintaining the sheath position.16.After the procedure is completed insert the dilator over the wire into the sheath 17.Slowly withdraw the sheath and dilator as a unit and then remove the guide wire.H10: d4 (expiry date: 03/2024).H11: h6 (method, result, conclusion).H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
