As reported, the deployment button of a 5f exoseal vascular closure device (vcd) could not be pressed and therefore not be deployed.After removal from the patient, the plug had not detached from the exoseal vcd device.Manual compression was used for hemostasis.There was no reported patient injury.The procedure used a retrograde approach.There were no visible signs of device or package damage before use.One exoseal device was used for the patient.An unknown catheter sheath introducer was used.The device was stored and prepared per the instructions for use (ifu).The exoseal vcd and vascular sheath introducer were retracted together until pulsatile flow from the bleed-back indicator significantly slowed or stopped and until the indicator window changed to solid black.The indicator window was solid black at the time of attempted button depression and did not show any red color during retraction.The device was not attempted to be deployed outside the patient¿s body.Angiography confirmed the suitability of the femoral artery, including confirmation that the insertion angle of the vascular sheath introducer was 30-45 degrees.The vessel diameter was confirmed to be greater than or equal to 5 mm, and there was no visible calcium deposition, plaque, stent, or stenosis greater than 50% at or near the puncture site.Before use of the exoseal vcd, there was no evidence of a pre-existing hematoma, arteriovenous fistula, or pseudoaneurysm at the access site.The physician was certified in the use of the exoseal vcd.The device will be returned for evaluation.
