Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that versacross access solution selected for atrial flutter (af) ablation procedure.During the procedure, once transseptal access was being attempted in the left atrium, physician removed the versacross sheath and dilator leaving the versacross rf wire in place in the left superior pulmonary vein (lspv).When trying to backload the wire into the faradrive sheath and dilator for a sheath exchange into the left atrium (la), it was noted that the coating on the rf wire was preventing backloading of the wire into the sheath and dilator.Multiple attempts were made to backload the wire, but the coating seemed to peel back and create more of a hurdle to backloading the wire in.In an attempt to save the tsp puncture, the physician attempted to backload the versacross sheath back onto the rf wire instead.Unfortunately, they could no longer backload the rf wire into the versacross sheath either.Transseptal access was lost.Hence, the device was replaced and then able to get transseptal access again and was then able to easily backload the faradrive onto the new rf wire from the new versacross sheath and rf wire kit.The procedure was completed successfully.No patient complication was reported.The device is expected to return for analysis.
