MAUDE data represents reports of adverse events involving medical devices. This maude entry was filed from a other report with the FDA on 2018-03-14 for VARADY PHLEBECTOMY EXTRACTOR, 6-3/4 SM HOOK 10310 manufactured by Hebumedical Gmbh.
[102591652]
The device was returned without the broken-off tip. It had been manufactured in november 2014. Review of manufacturing records confirmed device conformance to specs at time of release. Hardness of returned device was tested and found conforming to specifications. The device was subject to microscopic examination. It showed no evidence of extensive reuse. 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 extractor has a very delicate hook tip due to the natural anatomical requirements of the vein-stripping procedure, and the tip may fracture if excessive pressure is applied by the surgeon.
