Reason: There is an increased likelihood of the introducer sheath separating at the proximal bond site. If separation occurs during use, it could result in life-threatening adverse events. The potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to increased procedural time, intervention to retrieve a separated segment, embolization occluding blood flow to a vital organ, vessel injury, and hemorrhage.
