It was reported that the hub of the flexor sheath from a rosch-uchida transjugular liver access set (rups) separated.The device was required for a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (tips) procedure.During the procedure, a 5f catheter was used to successfully puncture the right internal jugular vein.Following access, a hydrophilic-coated guidewire was advanced into the vessel.The rups was then prepared for exchange over the wire.Upon attempting to advance the rups along the guidewire, it was observed that the white hub of the 10 french flexor sheath had separated.A new rups set was obtained to successfully complete the procedure.It was confirmed that the tapered gray dilator was inside the sheath at the time of initial insertion.The patient did not have any tortuous anatomy.No other adverse effects were reported for this incident.

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unchanged, unknown, or unavailable.Correction: h6 - annex a and annex g.Investigation ¿ evaluation: it was reported that the hub of the flexor sheath from a rosch-uchida transjugular liver access set (rups) separated.The device was required for a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (tips) procedure.During the procedure, a 5f catheter was used to successfully puncture the right internal jugular vein.Following access, a hydrophilic-coated guidewire was advanced into the vessel.The rups was then prepared for exchange over the wire.Upon attempting to advance the rups along the guidewire, it was observed that the white hub of the 10 french flexor sheath had separated.A new rups set was obtained to successfully complete the procedure.It was confirmed that the tapered gray dilator was inside the sheath at the time of initial insertion.The patient did not have any tortuous anatomy.No adverse effects were reported for this incident.Reviews of documentation including the complaint history, device history record (dhr), and quality control procedures, as well as a visual inspection of the returned device, were conducted during the investigation.Cook received one used set.The blue catheter was received inside the stiffening cannula and black catheter combination and appeared to have been damaged during shipment back to cook.The shaft of the sheath was separated at the hub.Flare material was still noted to be in the hub of the device.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the dhrs for the reported complaint device lot and the related subassembly lots revealed no relevant discrepancies.A complaint history search identified no other events reported for the related failure mode.Based on the available information, cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to specification and that there is no evidence suggesting nonconforming product exists either in house or in the field.Cook did not review product labeling.The manufacturer does not apply an ifu for this product.Instructions for use are applied by the local distribution partner.Based on the information provided, inspection of the returned device, and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies contributed to this incident.Although the patient was reported to not have tortuous anatomy, it is possible that the pre-existing condition resulted in difficult advancement, resulting in the separation.However, this cannot be confirmed without additional information.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.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.
