Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
As reported, during use of a super torque cath mb 5f pig 65cm 8sh a cross-over intervention was used, after the iliac artery was catheterized, the catheter got stuck inside of the iliac artery during removal of the device.There were no reported patient injuries.Additional procedural details were requested but are unknown.The device was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 17732703 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿catheter (body/shaft)- withdrawal difficulty - from vessel¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause could not be determined.Vessel characteristics, although not provided, and/or procedural/handling factors may have contributed to the reported event.According to the instructions for use (ifu), although not intended as a mitigation of risk, ¿do not advance or withdraw the super torque mb angiographic catheter within the vascular system unless it is preceded by a guide wire.Exercise care when removing guidewires from multiple-curve catheters.Keep the catheter filled with either flushing solution or contrast media while the catheter is in the vascular system and consider the use of systemic heparinization.Avoid excessive tension on the device during manipulation.Extreme care to avoid stretching or elongation must be exercised during manipulation and withdrawal.If resistance is felt during manipulation, determine the cause of resistance before proceeding and confirm super torque mb angiographic catheter positioning under high quality fluoroscopic observation.¿ neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.
