Event Description
|
As reported, during unspecified procedures in neuro interventional radiology, two tuohy-borst large bore clear plastic sidearm adapters leaked and would not maintain hemostasis.One additional device leaked during testing by the cook sales representative.The devices were used with an unspecified 5-french catheter and another manufacturer's 0.035-inch wire guide.Resistance was not encountered upon advancement of the wire guide through the valve; however, although the connection and ports are "fine", resistance was encountered as the device was tightened around the wire, and the device "squeaked".The procedures were completed successfully by holding pressure around the valves.No intervention was required to treat blood loss, and there have been no adverse effects to any patient.

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, during unspecified procedures in neuro interventional radiology, two tuohy-borst large bore clear plastic sidearm adapters leaked and would not maintain hemostasis.One additional device leaked during testing by the cook sales representative.The devices were used with an unspecified 5-french catheter and another manufacturer's 0.035-inch wire guide.Resistance was not encountered upon advancement of the wire guide through the valve; however, although the connection and ports are "fine", resistance was encountered as the device was tightened around the wire, and the device "squeaked".The procedures were completed successfully by holding pressure around the valves.No intervention was required to treat blood loss, and there have been no adverse effects to any patient.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.A visual inspection and functional test of a prior-to-use device from the lot, returned by the customer, was also conducted.The customer returned one prior-to-use device, from the same lot as the complaint devices, to cook for investigation.No difficulties were encountered when screwing the valve closed.Squeaking was not heard.After the valve was closed, the device was leak tested with a 0.038-inch wire inserted.The device did not leak.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device history record found no relevant non-conformances on the lot.A review of complaint history found no additional complaints for this lot number.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.The information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, and investigation of the prior-to-use device from the same lot as the complaint devices suggests that there is evidence the devices were manufactured to specification.There is no evidence of non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a component failure, unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies, contributed to this event.The risk analysis for this failure mode was reviewed and no additional escalation was required.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.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.
