NO NON CONFORMITIES NOTED WITH STRAIN RELIEF OR HUB. NUMEROUS DESIGN VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN PERFORMED TO ENSURE THAT THIS DEVICE MEETS DESIGN REQUIREMENTS.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    AN (B)(6) YEAR OLD MALE PATIENT WITH SEVERE PAD WAS UNDERGOING A PERIPHERAL INTERVENTION PROCEDURE WITH ACCESS IN RIGHT DISTAL ANTERIOR TIBIAL. IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING THIS PROCEDURE, TWO CXI SUPPORT CATHETERS MALFUNCTIONED. THE INITIAL REPORTER STATED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND PROCEDURE OVER THE COURSE OF DAYS THAT A PHYSICIAN TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS DIFFICULT LESION. ANOTHER MANUFACTURER'S SHEATH WAS PLACED ALONG WITH THE FIRST CXI CATHETER. THE PHYSICIAN REPORTED DIFFICULTY WHEN TRYING TO ADVANCE TWO WIRE GUIDES FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER THROUGH THE CXI. ADVANCEMENT OF A THIRD UNKNOWN WIRE WASN'T POSSIBLE AND THE PHYSICIAN HAD THOUGHT A KINK AT THE BASE OF THE HUB OF THE CXI HAD RESULTED. THE PHYSICIAN THEN CUT THE HUB FROM THE CXI IN ORDER TO ADVANCE A WIRE THROUGH IT TO PREVENT LOSS OF POSITIONING BEFORE REMOVING THE COMPLAINT DEVICE. A SECOND CXI WAS THEN PLACED OVER THE UNSPECIFIED WIRE GUIDE. OVER THE COURSE OF 45 MINUTES, THE PHYSICIAN TRIED ADVANCING MANY WIRE GUIDES. UPON CROSSING THE LESION WITH A WIRE, THE CXI WAS ADVANCED. THE PHYSICIAN NOTICED THAT TIP APPEARED TO NOT BEING ADVANCING ON IMAGING EVEN THOUGH THE HUB OF THE CXI CATHETER WAS ADVANCING FURTHER INTO THE SHEATH. THE SECOND COMPLAINT DEVICE HAD SEPARATED WITHIN THE SHEATH. THE PHYSICIAN WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE SHEATH WITH THE COMPLAINT DEVICE PORTIONS REMAINING IN THE SHEATH. NO PART OF THE CXI CATHETER REMAINED IN THE PATIENT. NO ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES WERE NEEDED DUE TO THIS INCIDENT. THE PROCEDURE WAS PROLONGED, AND THE PATIENT TO REQUIRED ADDITIONAL CONTRAST AND RADIATION.
