Reason

During IAB catheter insertion, the introducer dilator may fracture at the hub, leaving the body of the introducer dilator housed within the sheath. Risks to health include damage to the femoral artery, descending aorta, or embolization; surgical intervention and delay of IAB therapy may also result. Firm has received 10 complaints, including 3 serious adverse events and 1 patient death.

Root cause

Under Investigation by firm

Action

Firm notified customers on June 23, 2023 via letter. Customers were made aware of the potential for the device to break during use and the risk of using the device. Customers were given alternate solutions to continue using the IAB Catheter with alternative sheath/dilator combinations. Customers may also return their affected product for a credit. The firm will continue to ship product to customers who choose to continue receiving it. However, product currently being shipped is potentially affected by the same issue. Datascope/Getinge has identified the issue with the introducer dilator and is working with the supplier towards a resolution. If you have any questions, please contact your Datascope/Getinge representative or call Datascope/Getinge Customer Service at 1-888-943-8872, options 2, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Time Zone).
