Any device malfunction during treatment can potentially lead to a user electing to perform a repeat endometrial ablation, which can pose a serious risk to health.Labeling for the cerene cryotherapy device states that the "treatment status and next steps" for error code 379 is "uterus partially treated, end procedure, do not re-treat." though it was noted that a repeat endometrial ablation was performed, no injury or adverse events were reported.

Event or Problem Description

The physician inserted the device, which passed all safety checks and began treatment.14 seconds into treatment, the device stopped and flashed error code 379.The physician removed the device and began venting it.The physician then proceeded with a new device and completed a full treatment on the patient.The patient was discharged and no adverse events or injury were reported.Based on evaluation of the returned device, the root cause for the malfunction was tearing in the silicone pressure sleeve during manufacturing.Process updates have since been implemented to help prevent this failure mode.
