MAUDE data represents reports of adverse events involving medical devices. This maude entry was filed from a other report with the FDA on 2017-06-15 for MUELLER PHLEB HK RGHT SZ1 4-3/4 IN PHLEBECTOMY HOOK X21432 manufactured by Hebumedical Gmbh.
[77633258]
The device was returned without the broken-off tip. Review of manufacturing records confirmed device conformance to specs at time of release. Hardness of returned device was tested and found conforming to specifications. Since the device was returned incomplete, i. E. , without the broken-off tip, it is not possible to reach a definite conclusion with regard to the cause of the fracture. However, this type of hook has a very delicate tip ranging from 0. 5mm to 1. 0mm in width due to the natural anatomical requirements of the vein-stripping procedure, and the tip may fracture if excessive pressure is applied by the surgeon. Thus the device most likely was not used in accordance with recognized best practices. A review of complaint history for this device for the last three years revealed no similar cases.
