Manufacturer Narrative

The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, frequency analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), applicable fmea documents, labeling, and applicable manufacture records. Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a damaged powerglide catheter was confirmed and the damage appeared to be use related. One 20ga x 10cm powerglide catheter and deployment system were returned for investigation. The catheter was received attached to the deployment system. The returned sample revealed evidence of use. Blood residue was observed within the catheter. The guidewire had been advanced through the needle, but the wire was no longer attached to the coupler on the guidewire button slider. A 1cm section of guidewire was unraveled just distal to the needle. A break in the core wire was observed 3. 4cm from the distal tip of the guidewire. A microscopic examination revealed that the weld tip was present at the distal tip of the guidewire. The catheter tubing extended 7. 2cm from the distal end of the pink strain relief sleeve, which indicates that approximately 2. 8cm of the catheter was missing. The distal end of the catheter was not returned for investigation. A microscopic examination of the catheter revealed a longitudinal slit in the distal end of the catheter segment, which is consistent with a needle puncture. The section of catheter around the longitudinal split exhibited a smooth and glossy surface. It appears that the needle punctured through the side of the catheter, which most likely initiated a complete breach in the catheter tubing. The product ifu warns, ¿once the catheter has been advanced, do not re-insert the needle back into the catheter or pull the catheter back onto the needle. This may result in damage to the catheter. If the catheter needs to be repositioned, either do so without the aid of the needle, or remove both the catheter and the needle as a unit to prevent the needle from damaging or shearing the catheter. ¿ the ifu also states, ¿do not perforate, tear, or fracture the catheter with the needle or guidewire during the procedure. ¿ the observed damage and reported complications appear to be related to use of the device. A lot history review (lhr) of rebx0132 showed no other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.

Event Description

It was reported that during placement, the powerglide pro got blood return so they advanced the catheter. They felt resistance and decided to retract the guidewire and pulled the entire device out. After they had removed the device they noticed half of the catheter was missing. Vascular surgery found the catheter in the tissue of the patient, at that time the decision was made not to remove the piece of catheter.
