Event Description
|
It was reported that catheter entrapment occurred.The 99% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and mildly calcified popliteal artery.After a non bsc guide wire crossed the lesion, a 4 mm x 40 mm x 146 cm coyote¿ es balloon catheter was advanced for dilatation.However the device was stuck when tried to pass through outside the patient's body.Upon removal, the non bsc guide wire separated.The procedure was completed with a different device.No patient complications were reported and the patient's status was stable.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr, eval summary attached, method codes, result codes, conclusion codes updated.Device evaluated by mfr: the returned product consisted of the coyote es balloon catheter in two pieces with a.014¿ guidewire.The guidewire was received in the distal end of shaft of the catheter.The shafts and balloon were microscopically examined.There were numerous kinks in the hypotube.The mid-shaft was stretched and completely separated.The separated ends of the midshaft appeared to be jagged and damaged.The exit notch was torn and the shaft was stretched and buckled distal of the exit notch.The outer shaft was buckled from the bi-component weld to the balloon and the inner shaft was buckled from the bi-component weld to the tip.The balloon was all bunched up and the tip was damaged.The appearance of the shaft indicates that the separation and buckling were due to tensile overload.An attempt to remove the guidewire was made; however, due to the buckling of the shaft and tip damage, the wire was unable to be removed.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The most probable root cause is considered handling damage as the event occurred without direct patient contact.(b)(4).
