Event or Problem Description
As reported, during a lower extremity angiogram, a cxi support catheter separated.The hydrophilic coating was activated, and the catheter was flushed per the instructions for use.The user attempted to advance the catheter over a 180-centimeter cook rosen wire; however, the catheter became stuck halfway on the wire, prior to reaching the sheath.The catheter did not enter the patient's body.The physician then tried to remove the catheter from the wire, but the catheter was still stuck.The physician then used additional force in an attempt to remove the catheter from the wire, at which point the catheter separated into two pieces, approximately ten centimeters from the distal tip.Additional pieces of the catheter reportedly broke off when removing the remaining portion of the catheter from the wire.After the separated catheter was removed from the wire, the wire, which was not removed from the patient, was cleaned and checked, and another cxi of the same type was used over the same wire to complete the procedure without issue.The patient did not require any additional procedures or experience any adverse effects due to this event.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, during a lower extremity angiogram, a cxi support catheter separated.The hydrophilic coating was activated, and the catheter was flushed per the instructions for use.The user attempted to advance the catheter over a 180-centimeter cook rosen wire; however, the catheter became stuck halfway on the wire, prior to reaching the sheath.The catheter did not enter the patient's body.The physician then tried to remove the catheter from the wire, but the catheter was still stuck.The physician then used additional force in an attempt to remove the catheter from the wire, at which point the catheter separated into two pieces, approximately ten centimeters from the distal tip.Additional pieces of the catheter reportedly broke off when removing the remaining portion of the catheter from the wire.After the separated catheter was removed from the wire, the wire, which was not removed from the patient, was cleaned and checked, and another cxi of the same type was used over the same wire to complete the procedure without issue.The patient did not require any additional procedures or experience any adverse effects due to this event.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), drawing, manufacturing instructions, 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 catheter was separated approximately 132.5-centimeters from the strain relief.The catheter tip was also missing, with the remaining tip measuring four millimeters in length.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device history record found no relevant discrepancies.A review of complaint history found no additional complaints for the final or sub-assembly lots.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.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a component failure, unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies, contributed to this event.It is possible that use-related factors may have contributed to the event, but this cannot be definitively determined.Ther user reported that the catheter became stuck on the wire, at which point additional force was used, and the catheter broke.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.
