Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that during use of this swan-ganz bipolar pacing catheter it was unable to pace.After catheter insertion, pacing was attempted but it did not work.The issue was resolved by replacing the catheter.Information including kind of surgery or examination the catheter was used for and if the patient had cardiac conduction defect was unknown.Patient demographic information was requested but unavailable.There were no patient complications reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
One d97120f5 catheter with monoject limited volume syringe was returned for evaluation.The reported issue of unable to pace was confirmed.Continuity testing found a short condition occurred between the proximal and distal circuits in the y-adaptor.There was no open or short condition observed in the leadwires between distal side of y-adaptor and the electrodes.There was no visible damage observed from catheter body, balloon, and windings.The balloon inflated clear and concentric and remained inflated for five minutes without leakage.An engineering evaluation was initiated to assess for any manufacturing related processes which could be correlated to the complaint.Pacing difficulty during use was confirmed through the product evaluation.As part of the manufacturing process, 100 percent of the units go through an electrical continuity inspection process.Based on the available information, the complaint for pacing issue is potentially related to manufacturing defect, however, based on the investigation and the information available, a root cause could not be determined.A product risk assessment (pra) was generated for the short condition at the y-adaptor between proximal and distal lead wires for the bipolar pacing catheters.A device history record review was completed and documented that device met all specifications upon distribution.Complaint histories for all reported events are reviewed against trending control limits on a monthly basis, and any excursions above the control limits are assessed and documented as part of this monthly review.
