Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that a 6-4mm amplatzer duct occluder was selected for implant on (b)(6) 2025 using a 6f amplatzer torqvue delivery system to treat a patent ductus arteriosus (pda).Both devices were prepared per ifu.During the procedure the occluder was partially re-captured once.When the occluder was placed on the pda the occluder took on an extended shape.The occluder was not released from the delivery cable.There were no interactions with cardiac structures.There were no angulations or kinks noted on the delivery system.Both the occluder and delivery system were removed from the patient and replaced with a new 8-6mm amplatzer duct occluder and 6f amplatzer torqvue delivery system.The user believed the occluder deformation may have been related to the connection to the delivery cable.There were no adverse effects to the patient.The patient status was stable.
