Event Description

Information was received (b)(6) 2019 clarifying the event.It was initially reported that two separate pta devices were used in two separate procedures.However, the cook area representative has since corrected these events.In the first case (reported in 1820334-2019-00239), the pta rupture is accurate.However, the second complaint has been updated to reflect a difficult advancement/insertion of the second pta device into a 5fr cook sheath (this report).The 5fr sheath was not returned, only the second pta device that would not advance.It should be noted, the pta device is compatible with a 6fr sheath.This event is no longer reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death, serious injury , or product malfunction.There is no precedence of this malfunction leading to an adverse event.No additional follow-up reports will be submitted under report reference number 1820334-2019-00238.
