Complaint conclusion: as reported, there was a possible defect in the side port tubing of the unknown 6f 11cm avanti + catheter sheath introducer.The tubing of the sheath was attached to a pressure bag, and the tubing dislodged from the sheath while removing the gauze and tegaderm dressing.The sheath was still in the patient, and there was bleeding noted from the broken side port.There were no reports of patient injury.One image was provided, and it shows a catheter sheath introducer with a visible separation between the side port extension and the hub.Blood is present within the side port tubing, indicating that the system had been in use prior to the disconnection.Additional information was requested but was unknown.The device will not be returned for evaluation.The device was not returned, only a photo was provided.The photo showed the side port extension was separated.No additional anomalies or notable details were observed in the image.The photo does not provide sufficient information to determine whether there is a manufacturing-related issue or not, the information is insufficient to draw any further conclusions.No actions will be taken at this time.Since no lot number was provided, a product history record (phr) review could not be generated.The reported ¿side port extension separated¿ was observed in the image provided for review.However, as the device was not returned, a comprehensive analysis could not be conducted.With only a single image available and no additional clinical or procedural information obtained, it is not possible to determine a definitive root cause.Procedural or handling factors may have contributed to the observed separation.In the absence of the physical device, a conclusive clinical assessment regarding the relationship between the device and the reported event cannot be made.According to the instructions for use which is not intended to mitigate risk, ¿remove the sheath when clinically indicated by placing compression on the vessel above the puncture site, and slowly withdraw the csi.Discard the sheath appropriately.Important: upon removing any intravascular device, aspirate via the sideport extension to collect any fibrin that may have been deposited within or at the tip of the device.¿ the information available does not suggest a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event and since no lot number was provided, a product history record (phr) review could not be generated.Therefore, no corrective or preventive action will be taken at this time.
