SAFE-T PLUS ATRAUMATIC ADULT LP TRAY

Acute drainage catheters, indicated for use in removing fluid during acute drainage/aspiration procedure, manufactured with safety indicators that erroneously show catheter in sharp position when catheter is in blunt position, which may lead users to believe device is not yet in pleural or peritoneal space when it is, may cause discomfort, delay to treatment, injury to internal organs or vessels.

Software version 3.35 of the Venclose digiRF Generator incorporates a catheter verification feature specifically designed to detect internal wiring anomalies in Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheters prior to clinical use. This automated diagnostic check is executed immediately upon catheter connection to the generator, occurring before the procedure interface becomes accessible. When a catheter fails this verification process, the generator displays a Red X indicator on the screen without accompanying error codes, effectively disabling catheter functionality. However, BD has determined that software version 3.35 generates false positive failures due to temperature-dependent verification parameters, incorrectly flagging properly functioning Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheters as defective when the catheter temperature is not at steady state during the check initiation.

Atherectomy Catheter eIFU updated to clarify and emphasize procedural steps intended to reduce the likelihood of catheter breakage events. Catheter has an outer cylinder connected to a rotating helix, which could fracture and/or break, which would require retrieval, and helix facture/break could cause vessel injury and lead to severe bleeding.
