Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was implanted in the patient and not returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.Procedural or medical imaging was not provided.The web device rotation could not be confirmed.A search for non-conformances associated with this part/lot number combination did not reveal any production-related issues relevant to the complaint that occurred during manufacturing of the device.If additional information is received at a later date, an investigation will be performed and a supplemental mdr will be submitted.H3 other text : device remains implanted.

Event Description
|
As reported through the clinical study web pas.The patient had the web device implanted, and a few minutes after the implant the physician did an imaging run.They noticed that the device had rotated in the aneurysm approximately 40 degrees.The device did not leave the aneurysm/targeted implant location.It didnt cause parent vessel stenosis, didnt cause any patient injury/ae, and there were no additional/adjunctive therapies required to treat the aneurysm.The device remains implanted.

A visual inspection of the device captured in this file could not be performed as a physical device was not returned for evaluation, nor were any images of the device provided in place of a device return.Procedure and medical imaging was not provided for this investigation.Investigation findings: without the return and physical evaluation of the device, the investigation cannot definitively determine if a condition existed that would have caused or contributed to the reported event.Without imaging, the investigation cannot verify the event occurred as described, nor could the investigation definitively determine the cause of the reported event.Based on a review of the device¿s risk documentation, the reported event did not indicate there were any potential or new manufacturing, design, quality, or other systemic issues, or non-conformances.The complaint code is monitored through the trending process; corrective action is determined, as needed, through this process.Investigations of historic complaint files with similar complaint category coding are recorded in the complaint handling system; without the ability to perform and analysis of the device, this investigation cannot identify with certainty any potential root causes.Batch review: a search for non-conformances associated with this part/lot number combination did not reveal any production-related issues relevant to the complaint that occurred during manufacturing of the device.Complaint system review: there are no similar complaints based on the complaint category regarding this batch number from the last two years recorded in the complaint system at the time of this investigation.Ifu review (additional information can be found in the ifu): potential complications potential complications include but are not limited to the following: vessel puncture site hematoma, aneurysm perforation or rupture, hemorrhage, edema, thromboemboli, transient ischemic attack, ischemic stroke, neurologic deficits, parent artery occlusion, ischemia, vessel dissection or perforation, vascular thrombosis, vasospasm, device migration or misplacement, premature detachment, headache, post-embolization syndrome, infection and death.The web embolization device requires the use of fluoroscopy.Potential complications related to angiographic and fluoroscopic radiation doses include, but are not limited to, alopecia, burns ranging in severity from skin reddening to ulcers, cataracts, and delayed neoplasia.The probability of occurrence of complications may increase as procedure time and number of procedures increase.Other procedural complications including but not limited to anesthetic and contrast media risks, hypotension, hypertension and access site complications.Warnings ¿ do not allow an inappropriately sized or non-optimally positioned web embolization device to reside in the aneurysm significantly beyond the activated clotting time (act).Experience has shown that thrombus formation can also prevent the web embolization device from full deployment and recapture.To minimize the risks of potential complications, the status of the patient¿s anti-platelet medication regimen should be considered when deciding to remove the entire web embolization device from the aneurysm prior to deployment/detachment for replacement by a new web embolization device.Procedure - instructions for use web embolization device size selection 12.The correct web size is approximately 1 mm larger than the average aneurysm diameter and approximately 1 mm smaller than the smallest aneurysm height introduction and deployment of the web embolization device 28.Under fluoroscopic guidance, slowly advance the web embolization device out the tip of the microcatheter.Continue to advance the web embolization device into the lesion until optimal deployment is achieved.The following may require repositioning or removal of the web embolization device and/or repositioning of the microcatheter.A.If the web embolization device size is not appropriate, remove and replace with another web embolization device.B.If undesirable movement of the web embolization device is noted following placement and prior to detachment, remove the web embolization device.Movement of the web embolization device may indicate that the web embolization device could migrate once it is detached.C.If the web embolization device (implant) does not fully open: i.Retrieve the implant, reposition the microcatheter further proximally and re-deploy the implant to allow more room for expansion, or ii.Replace the implant with another implant of the same or alternate size.The web embolization device should not be retracted and deployed more than twice.After two attempts, remove the web embolization device and replace with another web embolization device of the same or alternate size.To minimize the potential risk of thrombus, do not allow an inappropriately sized or non-optimally positioned web embolization device to reside in the aneurysm significantly beyond the activated clotting time (act).Experience has shown that thrombus can also prevent the web from full deployment and recapture.To minimize the risks of potential complications, the status of the patient¿s anti-platelet medication regimen should be considered when making a decision to remove the entire system from the aneurysm for replacement by a new web embolization device.The physical device was not available for evaluation to determine if a condition existed that would have caused or contributed to event.Supplemental imaging was also unavailable for review; without imaging, the investigation cannot verify the event occurred as described, nor could the investigation definitively determine the cause of the reported event.This information may be updated if additional information is provided at a later date.
