Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the second complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.However, the device history records were reviewed and there was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: the sample was not returned for evaluation.The result of the investigation is inconclusive for the reported sheath split and failure to advance issues.The root cause for the reported sheath split and failure to advance issue could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications.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 neurovasculature or the coronary vasculature.Warnings 4.Visually inspect the packaging to verify that the sterile barrier is intact.Do not use if the sterile barrier is opened or damaged.6.Do not advance the guidewire, sheath/dilator, procedural device, or any component if resistance is met, without first determining the cause and taking remedial action 10.Only advance or retract the sheath with the dilator inserted and only advance or retract the sheath and dilator while placed over a properly sized guidewire.11.Failure to deactivate the procedural device prior to removal through the sheath may cause damage to the sheath and may result in patient injury.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.6.Carefully inspect the sheath prior to use to verify that the sheath has not been damaged during shipment and that its size, shape and condition are suitable for the procedure for which it is to be used.Do not use if product damage is evident.10.When inserting, manipulating or withdrawing a device through the introducer always maintain the introducer position.18.Do not place sutures on the sheath tubing since this may restrict access/flow through the sheath.When puncturing, suturing or incising near the sheath be careful not to damage the sheath.Proper functioning of the sheath depends on its integrity.Care should be used when handling the sheath.20.If resistance is felt during post-procedure withdrawal of the procedural device, it is recommended to remove the procedural device, guidewire, and sheath as a single unit.22.Proper functioning of the halo one¿ thin-walled sheath depends on its integrity.Care should be used when handling the sheath.Damage may result from kinking, stretching, or forceful wiping of the halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath.Do not continue to use the sheath if the shaft has been bent or kinked.Directions for use equipment required: 0.035" (0.89 mm) guidewire or 0.018" (0.46 mm) guidewire as labeled per device.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.Warnings 6.Do not advance the guidewire, sheath/dilator, procedural device, or any component if resistance is met, without first determining the cause and taking remedial action.10.Only advance or retract the sheath with the dilator inserted and only advance or retract the sheath and dilator while placed over a properly sized guidewire.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.4.The minimum acceptable sheath french size is printed on the package label.Do not attempt to pass devices through a smaller size sheath introducer than indicated on the device label.9.Advance or withdraw the sheath slowly.If resistance is met do not advance or withdraw until the cause of resistance is determined.10.When inserting, manipulating or withdrawing a device through the introducer always maintain the introducer position.20.If resistance is felt during post-procedure withdrawal of the procedural device, it is recommended to remove the procedural device, guidewire, and sheath as a single unit.22.Proper functioning of the halo one¿ thin-walled sheath depends on its integrity.Care should be used when handling the sheath.Damage may result from kinking, stretching, or forceful wiping of the halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath.Do not continue to use the sheath if the shaft has been bent or kinked.Concomitant medical product expiry date: 10/2023.
