Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H10: manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the first 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 these reports.Investigation summary: the physical device was returned for evaluation.The visual inspection of the catheter did not identify any obvious damage or anomalies that would contribute or cause the reported event.A 150mm section of the outer was stretched up to the proximal bond and the balloon was also bunched at the proximal bond.This damage points to user handling or procedural techniques and is not thought to be manufacturing related as a 100% visual inspection for catheter defects is performed during manufacture.The result of the investigation is inconclusive for the reported device failure to advance issue.The root cause for the reported device failure to advance issue could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications and device evaluation.Labeling review: the instructions for use for the sleek otw product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: description: a 0.014¿ (0.356 mm) guidewire is recommended for use with the sleek® otw catheter.Indications: the sleek otw catheters are intended for balloon dilatation of the femoral, popliteal and infra-popliteal arteries.These catheters are not designed to be used in the coronary arteries.Warnings: do not advance the guidewire, balloon dilation catheter, or any component if resistance is met, without first determining the cause and taking remedial action.Precautions: carefully inspect the catheter prior to use to verify that the catheter 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.Proper functioning of the catheter depends on its integrity.Care should be used when handling the catheter.Damage may result from kinking, stretching, or forceful wiping of the catheter.Directions for use: inspection and preparation remove the balloon sleeve by first withdrawing the shipping mandrel slightly and then slowly removing the sleeve while holding the catheter as close to the balloon as possible.If any resistance is felt, or if any stretching of the catheter is observed while removing the balloon sleeve, the product should not be used.The catheter should then be inspected for bends, kinks or stretched portions.Do not use if product damage is evident.Prepare a mixture of contrast medium and normal saline as per normal procedure.(recommended 25%/75%) attach a stopcock and a 20 ml syringe half filled with the contrast solution to the point the syringe nozzle downward and aspirate until all air is removed from the balloon.Turn the stopcock off and maintain the vacuum in the balloon.Purge the catheter through lumen thoroughly.Reinserting the balloon into the balloon sleeve may damage the balloon or catheter.Procedure: insertion and inflation procedure: note: a 0.014¿ (0.356 mm) guidewire must be inserted in the sleek otw catheter across the balloon during any inflation of the balloon.Make sure that the balloon sleeve has been removed from the catheter balloon.Enter the vessel percutaneously using the standard seldinger technique over the appropriate guidewire for the size catheter being used.Advance the catheter across the lesion with fluoroscopic guidance using accepted percutaneous transluminal angioplasty technique and inflate the balloon to the appropriate pressure.Note: do not inflate the balloon or advance the catheter unless the guidewire is in place.H10: d4 (expiry date: 11/2024).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.H3 other text : see h10.
