Manufacturer Narrative

Patient gender and weight not available from the site.Visual examination of catheter confirmed a hole was present 5mm from the distal tip.Likely cause is the user encountered resistance in the anatomy, the catheter deflected, and the guide-wire continued straight, puncturing the catheter.A couple kinks were found along the catheter as well.

Event Description

During a peripheral vascular surgery utilizing femoral access, the surgeon stated when using the quick-cross support catheter 518-065, they could not go as low in the leg as wished, past the proximal anterior tibial artery.Also, when taking out the quick-cross they noticed a hole in the catheter above the tip.No device remnants were detected to be left in the patient.The case was successfully completed with a balloon and guide-wire.No impact on patient outcome due to this event.This is being reported due to the potential for serious injury with recurrence.
