As reported, during a trans-aortic valve replacement procedure, a micropuncture transitionless stiffened cannula access set¿s outer catheter/sheath broke at the hub upon insertion of the device.The femoral access site was reportedly normal.Access was obtained using ultrasound guidance, and blood return was noted upon insertion of the access needle.Resistance was not encountered during insertion or removal of any device component, and the device was not advanced or removed through a previously placed vascular closure device.The separated catheter/sheath shaft was manually removed from the patient.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures or experience any adverse effects due to this event.

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, during a trans-aortic valve replacement procedure, a micropuncture transitionless stiffened cannula access set¿s outer catheter/sheath broke at the hub upon insertion of the device.The femoral access site was reportedly normal.Access was obtained using ultrasound guidance, and blood return was noted upon insertion of the access needle.Resistance was not encountered during insertion or removal of any device component, and the device was not advanced or removed through a previously placed vascular closure device.The separated catheter/sheath shaft was manually removed from the patient.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures or experience any adverse effects due to this event.Corrected information: d4 = udi.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), 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 hub of the outer catheter/cannula was separated from the shaft.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device history record found no relevant non-conformances on the lot.A review of complaint history found no additional complaints for this lot number.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, and investigation of the returned device suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured to specification.There is no evidence of non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a component failure 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.
