It was reported the destino twist was bent proximal to the curve and the doctors could not get the devices through the introducer (sheath); in the beginning of the procedure the doctors had not noticed the destino twist was bent.They decided to switch to an aptus 7f, this worked, but not for all requirements.They then tried using the destino twist again, but again, they were not able to get the devices through the lumen (sheath) due to the kink before the curve.They decided to use a new destino twist (same model and lot number) and it worked.It was reported there was more than a 30 minute delay.No adverse patient effects were reported.

The device was used in treatment.Several attempts were made to obtain this destino twist for analysis, but was not successful.Therefore, the clinical observation could not be confirmed, and the exact cause of the product issue cannot be determined.The device history records were reviewed to confirm that the device passed all applicable in-process and final inspections.The following controls are in place to mitigate the reported product issue.Per qa procedure destino steerable guiding sheath in-process and final inspection: 10.In-process inspection with sample size: 100%.Using a 10x microscope, visually inspect shaft body for the following criteria step 10.1.1.Inspect for rejectable surface defects (dents, bumps, scratches, gouges).If the scratch is purely cosmetic and it cannot be felt when running a gloved hand over it (material is not removed), the product is acceptable.Step 10.1.2.Inspect for cracks/voids.Rejectable criteria include defects located at transitions between reflowed shaft sections and void of material along shaft body.Step 10.1.3.Inspect for wrinkles or kinks.Reject the unit if the shaft body is wrinkled or kinked.The destino twist, instructions for use (ifu) in forms the user: avoid subjecting the device to unusual stresses.Handle the steerable sheath with care at all times.Before removing the steerable sheath from packaging, straighten the distal section as much as possible to avoid damage during removal.Refer to "deflecting and straightening the steerable sheath" for instructions.Never advance, torque, or withdraw sheath when resistance is met.Determine cause by fluoroscopy and then take remedial action.An unsupported sheath (without an inserted device or dilator) may be susceptible to kinking during advancement or torsional manipulation.Based on the investigation, a capa is not required as findings did not identify a design, labeling or manufacturing non-conformity.In addition, there was no new failure mode identified and the risk remains acceptable.The event will be re-evaluated if additional information becomes available.Oscor will continue to monitor this event type and risk.Oscor inc.Is submitting the above report to comply with 21 cfr part 803, the medical device reporting regulation.The report is based upon information obtained by oscor inc.Which the company may not have been able to investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by fda.This report does not constitute an admission that the device, oscor inc., or its employees, caused or contributed to the event described in this report.Nor does this report reflect a conclusion by fda, oscor inc., or its employees, that the report constitutes an admission that the device, oscor inc., or its employees caused or contributed to the event described in this report.
