It was reported that the wire guide included in the neff percutaneous access set unraveled during a percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (ptcd) procedure for 64-year-old male patient.During the procedure, after opening the product packaging, the 0.018" wire guide was inserted into the patient along the puncture needle.Upon attempting to withdraw the wire guide through the needle, significant resistance was encountered, preventing proper removal.Multiple removal attempts resulted in damage to the wire guide's tip.To ensure the safety, a same like-device was used to continue the procedure.The original product packaging was discarded by the department because it was improperly stored by the nurse and became contaminated with dirt.A photo provided by the customer shows an unraveled wire guide.As reported, the patient did not experience any adverse effects or require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.
