  • Causa
    Medtronic has received thirty-eight (38) reported nose cone separation events (.08 percent of implant procedures); five (5) of these reported events (.01 percent of implant procedures) led to the need for surgical intervention. a thorough review and investigation of the reported events has identified that a majority of these reported events occurred in situations cautioned against in current labelling. in addition, medtronic has determined that the following situations can lead to nose cone separations:-using the corevalve accutrak dcs to retrieve (remove) a partially deployed valve.- removing the corevalve accutrak dcs from the patient, after valve deployment, without fully closing the corevalve accutrak dcs capsule. -continuing to pull on the corevalve accutrak dcs if increased resistance is felt at the vessel introducer, the introducer’s hemostatic valve, or other structure during corevalve accutrak dcs retrieval.
  • Acción
    To reduce the occurrence of nose cone separations, Medtronic is modifying the instructions for use (IFU) and training materials for CoreValve AccuTrak DCS models DCS-C4-18Fr and DCS-C4-18Fr-23. Medtronic is advising that physicians implement the updated IFU recommendations to reduce occurrences of nose cone separation events during the CoreValve implant procedure.
