Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

• MalfunctionOct 17, 2024

  A PATIENT WHO WAS POST-OP FROM BIOPROSTHETIC MITRAL VALVE AND TRICUSPID VALVE REPLACEMENTS WAS DECOMPENSATING FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. WE WANTED TO PERFORM A TEE (TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAM) TO ASSESS WHETHER THE PATIENT HAD CARDIOGENIC SHOCK IN ADDITION TO SEPTIC SHOCK. THE TEE PROBE IN THE CVICU (CARDIOVASCULAR INTENSIVE CARE UNIT) WAS SCRATCHED AND IMAGES OBTAINED WITH THE PROBE WERE NEARLY UNINTERPRETABLE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE PROBE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. WE WERE UNABLE TO ASSESS THIS PATIENT'S RIGHT HEART FUNCTION. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SIGNIFICANTLY DELAYED THE PATIENT GOING ON ECMO (EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION) AS WE NEEDED THE IMAGING TO DETERMINE WHICH CANNULA TO USE. EVENTUALLY, WE WERE ABLE TO USE A PEDIATRIC TEE PROBE (THE ONLY ONE AVAILABLE) WHICH PRODUCED SUBOPTIMAL IMAGES.
