As reported, during a lower extremity angiogram with below-the-knee intervention, during which a cxi support catheter was used, the tip of another manufacturer¿s 0.014-inch, 300-centimeter wire separated.Access was obtained in the femoral artery to target a vessel below the knee.The other manufacturer¿s wire was reportedly sticking upon both advancement and withdraw of the wire through the catheter.Upon removal of the wire from the catheter, the tip of the wire separated.The separated wire fragment was removed with an unknown snare catheter.The cxi catheter was reportedly damaged.Reportedly, the customer cannot confirm if the cxi catheter separated; however, stated that if the catheter had separated, it was retrieved.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.

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, during a lower extremity angiogram with below-the-knee intervention, during which a cxi support catheter was used, the tip of another manufacturer¿s 0.014-inch, 300-centimeter wire separated.Access was obtained in the femoral artery to target a vessel below the knee.The other manufacturer¿s wire was reportedly sticking upon both advancement and withdraw of the wire through the catheter.Upon removal of the wire from the catheter, the tip of the wire separated.The separated wire fragment was removed with an unknown snare catheter.The cxi catheter was reportedly damaged.Reportedly, the customer cannot confirm if the cxi catheter separated; however, stated that if the catheter had separated, it was retrieved.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.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), manufacturing instructions, and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.A visual inspection of the complaint device was also conducted.The complaint device was returned to cook for investigation.The catheter was kinked approximately 13-centimeters from the distal tip.A sample 0.014-inch wire was unable to pass through the kinked area.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device history record found one relevant non-conformance on a sub-assembly lot; however, the affected product was scrapped prior to release from cook.A review of complaint history found one additional complaint for this lot number, received from the same facility as the complaint device.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, ifu, and investigation of the returned device suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured to specification.Although one relevant non-conformance was noted on a sub-assembly lot, the non-conforming product was scrapped prior to release from cook, there are 100% inspections in place to capture this non-conformance, adequate inspection activities have been established, and there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed.Therefore, it was concluded that there is no evidence that additional non-conforming product exists in-house or in the field.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that procedural issues related to interaction between the competitor¿s wire and cxi catheter 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.
