As reported, the balloon of a 6f¿12f mynx control venous vascular closure device (vcd) was found to have a micro hole after the device came out of the body and the balloon was observed to be deflated.The site was sutured, and manual pressure was held for 10 minutes for hemostasis.There was no reported patient injury.The device was prepped per the instructions for use (ifu), advanced through the sheath, and attached around the side port of the sheath.The physician inflated the balloon and viewed the inflation indicator as white, black, and white, and it appeared ready to use.As the physician pulled back the device along with the sheath, the device came out of the body.The balloon was deflated, and the inflation indicator was no longer visible.When the balloon was tested again for inflation, a small stream of saline was observed coming from a micro hole in the balloon.The mynx vascular closure device (vcd) was used in an electrophysiology (ep) ablation procedure with a retrograde approach.The deployer¿s mynx training status was reported as ¿excellent.¿ a cordis avanti 10f sheath was used.Femoral vessel suitability, including the vascular sheath introducer insertion angle of 30¿45 degrees, was verified.The vessel was venous and femoral, and the vessel diameter was verified to be greater than or equal to 5 mm.There was no vessel tortuosity and no peripheral vascular disease (pvd) or calcium in the vicinity of the puncture site.The patient was stable and doing well post-procedure.The mynx vcd was stored and prepped according to the instructions for use (ifu).There was no prior percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta), stent, or vascular graft in the common femoral artery or vein.The balloon lost pressure after being pulled to the arteriotomy.The device will be returned for evaluation.
