As reported, during a procedure described as a paracentesis, the tip of a micropuncture transitionless access set's sheath split and "turned up like a bellows" after insertion into the femoral artery.Resistance was encountered upon insertion of the sheath into the patient over the micropuncture wire.The access site was not scarred, and the sheath was not advanced through a previously placed vascular closure device.There was no damage noted to the device prior to use.Upon removal of the sheath from the patient, the tip was found to be split.Another device of the same type, from the same lot, was used to complete the procedure.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, during a procedure described as a paracentesis, the tip of a micropuncture transition less access set's sheath split and "turned up like a bellows" after insertion into the femoral artery.Resistance was encountered upon insertion of the sheath into the patient over the micropuncture wire.The access site was not scarred, and the sheath was not advanced through a previously placed vascular closure device.There was no damage noted to the device prior to use.Upon removal of the sheath from the patient, the tip was found to be split.Another device of the same type, from the same lot, was used to complete the procedure.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Corrected information: h6 (annex g) investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned to cook for investigation.Cook reviewed the device history record (dhr).The dhr for the device lot found no relevant non-conformances.A component lot records one relevant nonconformance, however, the devices were scrapped, and the lot is inspected 100%.A database search for complaints reported on the complaint lot reveals no additional complaints at this time.Therefore, cook determined that no nonconforming product exists in house or in the field.The instructions for use (ifu) provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: precautions do not attempt to insert or withdraw the wire guide and/or introducer if resistance is felt.How supplied upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred.Cook has concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.The information provided upon review of the complaint file, dmr, dhr, and ifu provides evidence that the device was manufactured to specification.Based on the available information and results of the investigation, cook concluded that a component failure unrelated to the design or manufacturing of the complaint device caused this incident.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is required.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.
