H4 manufacturing date ¿ added.H3 device evaluated by mfg ¿updated.H3 summary attached - updated.D4 expiration date - added.D9/h3 product available to stryker ¿ updated.D9 returned to manufacturer on ¿updated.Based on the results of the dhr review, there is no indication that the device, labeling or packaging failed to meet its specifications when released.The device was returned.The reported lot number was confirmed from the returned packaging.During visual inspection, the retriever shaped section was detached from the distal end of the device.The proximal coil was kinked and stretched.The core wire could be seen at the proximal end of the proximal coil.The proximal coil was removed to locate the core wire fracture and it was noted to be fractured at the proximal coil/core wire bond.Functional testing was not required as the defect was visually confirmed.The reported event is covered in the device directions for use (dfu).As well, the risk of the reported event is documented in the risk documentation and there are current controls to mitigate the risk of the as reported event.Additional information was received indicating the stent remains in the patient and will not be attempted to remove the stent.Also the patient had severely tortuous anatomy which may have contributed to the event.Based on the information provided, it is most likely that the trevo retriever stent became dislodged from the device itself due to anatomical or procedural factors encountered during the procedure which then resulted in the un-retrieved device fragment.An assignable cause of procedural factors will be assigned to the as reported retriever fractured/broken during use and un-retrieved device fragments, as well as the as analyzed defects retriever coil damaged and retriever core wire broken/fractured during use as this issue appears to be associated with a product that met stryker design and manufacturing specifications and was used in accordance with the dfu, but performance was limited due to procedural and/or anatomical factors during use.
