As reported, button 2 of a 6f/7f mynx control vascular closure device (vcd) could be pressed down but would immediately pop back up.There was no reported patient injury.The balloon was filled with a mixture of contrast and saline and observed under x-ray during deployment and balloon deflation.The device was stored and prepared according to the instructions for use (ifu), and no device or package damage was noted prior to use.The device was used in an angiography procedure with intervention using a retrograde approach.The physician was trained on the mynx device.A 5f non-cordis sheath was used.Vessel suitability, including a 30¿45 degree vascular sheath introducer insertion angle, was verified on venography, and the vessel diameter was verified to be at least 5 mm.Hemostasis was achieved with the same mynx device, and sealant deployment was successful; however, button 2 would return to the start position once pressed.The balloon was not inverted.The balloon was observed to inflate and deflate under x-ray guidance with a contrast and saline mixture in the balloon, and no problems with the balloon were reported.The device will not be returned for evaluation.
