As originally reported, during a procedure involving a highly calcified, twenty-centimeter chronic total occlusion (cto) of the superficial femoral artery via a contralateral approach, other manufacturers¿ wires were unable to be advanced through a cxi support catheter.The catheter packaging was not damaged, and the device was stored vertically.Access was obtained in the femoral artery, and another manufacturer¿s sheath was used during the procedure.The anatomy was not tortuous, but it was severely calcified.The bifurcation angle was not tight.The user inserted another manufacturer¿s 0.018-inch wire guide into the catheter hub to advance the device to the lesion; however, resistance was encountered and therefore, the 0.018-inch wire was exchanged for another manufacturer¿s 0.014-inch wire.The 0.014-inch wire would only advance halfway through the catheter, near the second marker from the tip.Per the reporter, the tip of the wire guide was altered/shaped prior to insertion into the catheter, during which an inserter was used.Upon encountering resistance, the cxi was removed and exchanged for another manufacturer¿s support catheter.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Upon return and evaluation of the device on 24may2024, holes were noted in the catheter shaft.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Correction: b1, h1, h6 (annex a): upon completion of the investigation, it was determined the "holes" in the catheter shaft are circular pockmark-like damage to the outer layer of the shaft.There are no holes in the catheter, and there was no report from the customer of holes in the catheter.Per a search of risk documentation and previous complaint data, there is no evidence to suggest that this device failure would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury if the failure were to recur.Furthermore, there is no evidence that the device caused or contributed to a serious injury, as no life-threatening or permanently impairing injury was alleged, nor was intervention taken as a result of the device failure which would be required to prevent permanent impairment or damage to the patient.As such, the event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death, serious injury, or reportable product malfunction.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.
