Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Guidewire uncoiled during retraction was reported.The puncture was performed without problem, with arterial blood return observed through the needle.However during guidewire insertion at approximately 5-7 cm, a resistance was encountered.Moreover, during the retraction the same resistance was observed.The guidewire could not be retrieved.The second surgery was necessary to retrieve the guidewire from patient's vessel.The vascular surgery department performed a bedside surgical procedure and completely removed the guidewire.Throughout the procedure, the patient's vital signs remained stable with advanced life support.No any further harm to the patient.Unfortunately, no pictures of the part were provided.The faulty part was not returned for in-house investigation and was discarded, so the issue could not be confirmed.The cause of the issue could not be determined.Overall, it is not possible to define if the device failed to meet its specification when the problem occurred.A relationship between the device and the complaint is therefore considered, in worst case scenario, as likely.Information indicates that upon the complaint occurrence the device was involved and used on a patient for advanced hemodynamic monitoring.The issue is monitored on a regularly basis in order to detect early trends.As there is no trend for this kind of issue no additional actions will be taken.
