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 this event.Investigation summary: the device was returned for evaluation.Sporadic black solidified residue was present on sheath (likely bodily residue transfer) commencing from distal tip and spanning 80mm from that point along the sheath.There was an absence of hydrophilic coating noted at distal end of the sheath.The result of the investigation is confirmed for the reported device contamination with chemical or other material and peeling issues.The root cause for the reported device contamination with chemical or other material and peeling issues could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications and sample evaluation.Labeling review: the instruction for use for this halo one device 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.Contraindications: there are no known contraindications for the halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath.Warnings: 1.Contents supplied sterile using ethylene oxide (eto).Non-pyrogenic.Do not re-use, reprocess or re-sterilize.This device is intended for single use only.2.Do not resterilize.After resterilization, the sterility of the product is not guaranteed because of an indeterminable degree of potential pyrogenic or microbial contamination which may lead to infectious complications.Cleaning, reprocessing and/or resterilization of the present medical device increases the probability that the device will malfunction due to potential adverse effects on components that are influenced by thermal and/or mechanical changes.4.Visually inspect the packaging to verify that the sterile barrier is intact.Do not use if the sterile barrier is opened or damaged.5.Use the sheath prior to the ¿use by¿ date specified on the package.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.5.The pouch should be inspected prior to opening to ensure the sterile barrier is not compromised.The device should be carefully removed and placed in the sterile field.The entire procedure from skin puncture or incision to sheath withdrawal must be carried out aseptically.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.21.In order to activate the hydrophilic coating, it is recommended to wet the halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath with heparinized saline solution immediately prior to its insertion in the body.Failure to activate the coating may lead to sub-optimal trackability of the sheath.To maintain lubricity this surface must be kept completely wet.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.Storage: store in a cool, dry, dark place.Rotate inventory so that the catheter and other dated products are used prior to the ¿use by¿ date.Do not use if packaging is damaged or opened.Halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath preparation: 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.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.5.In order to activate the hydrophilic coating, where labeled, it is recommended to wet the halo one¿ thin-walled guiding sheath with sterile saline solution immediately prior to its insertion in the body.H10: d4 (expiration date: 08/2024).H11: section a through f: the information provide by bd represents all 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.
