Event Description
|
Preliminary examination of the device returned 30nov2020 showed a kink/twist at the distal end of the catheter, but no evidence of separation.A small piece of metal/coiling that was snared from the patient as well as the competitor's snare were returned, however the metal is not a portion of the catheter.

Manufacturer Narrative

Correction: this report is being sent to indicate the complaint event is not reportable.Upon further investigation and discussion with the customer, this event is not reportable.It was determined that the only failure of the catheter was that it was twisted/bent.An embolization coil was snared from the patient due to it being mistaken as a portion of the catheter, however no issue with the catheter necessitated "medical or surgical intervention to preclude permanent impairment of a body structure or permanent damage to a body stricture." a review of risk documentation does not indicate that this event is likely to cause serious injury if it were to reoccur.As there are no recorded incidences of serious injury due to the complaint event, and it is not likely that serious injury would result if the event were to recur, per 21cfr part 803.50 the complaint event is considered not reportable.
