The stryker pv devices were discarded by the user facility and are not available for evaluation.The device identifiers were provided, and the lot history records were reviewed.There were no discrepancies or unusual findings.Additionally, a complaint history review was conducted, and no similar issues have been reported against this lot number.The am confirmed that the clot collection element was overloaded with chronic clot, which is why it could not be withdrawn through the sheath.The pictures provided are consistent with this failure mode.The ifu does include the contraindication: not indicated for the removal of predominantly fibrous, firmly adherent, or calcified material (e.G., atherosclerotic plaque); which may apply to the case, and the failure mode is addressed in the dfmea.The available information reasonably suggests the stryker pv device likely contributed to the patient's need for a venous cutdown.Manufacturer reference number: (b)(4).
