Event Description
|
The healthcare professional reported that during an endovascular embolization procedure, the complaint stent, a 4.5mm x 28mm enterprise® vascular reconstruction device (enc452812 / 8269488) was impeded in the concomitant 150cm x 5cm prowler select plus microcatheter (606s255x / 31093249) and could not pass through the microcatheter.The physician removed the microcatheter and the stent from the patient.The stent was observed to be released in the introducer sheath and the stent component was prematurely separated from the delivery wire.The physician switched to new devices to complete the procedure.There was no report of any negative patient impact.On 26-dec-2023, additional information was received.Per the information, the target vessel of the procedure was the middle cerebral artery (mca).An adequate continuous flush was maintained through the microcatheter.Aside from the premature detachment, there was no damage noted on the stent / stent delivery system when it was removed.The replacement stent was another 4.5mm x 28mm enterprise® vascular reconstruction device (enc452812) and the replacement microcatheter was another 150cm x 5cm prowler select plus microcatheter (606s255x).The information also confirmed there was no negative patient impact.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure as a result of the reported issue.

Manufacturer¿s ref.No: (b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to report the investigational finding of the returned device.The complaint product was returned and received for evaluation and analysis.The investigation is documented below.Investigation summary: a non-sterile 4.5mm x 28mm enterprise® vascular reconstruction device was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Visual inspection was performed.It was noted that the stent was already detached from the unit; this was returned with a gauze attached with tape.The introducer was i good condition (i.E., no kinks bends, or elongations).The distal tip of the delivery wire was found in kinked condition.Microscopic inspection was performed on the stent component.It was observed to be in good condition; there was no structural damage (i.E., no broken struts, no kinks).It was also observed to be fully expanded.Both ends were noted to be completely flared.The retraction bump and marker distance were subjected to dimensional analysis, and all measurements were found to be within specification.Since the distance between the delivery wire tip and reference marker was found to be within specifications, manufacturing, or design defects.The issue documented in the complaint regarding the stent being prematurely detached was confirmed since the stent was noted as already separated from the delivery system; based on this condition, the issue regarding a stent being impeded in the microcatheter cannot be evaluated through functional testing.The stent must be inside the introducer tube to perform the functional analysis.Additionally, none of the returned components present damages that suggest that they were forcibly advanced.The kinked condition found in the delivery wire was not considered related to the reported issue since it was reported that the delivery system was in good condition upon removal.It is suspected that this condition appeared during the post-operational handling of the device.With the limited information available, a conclusive cause cannot be determined; however, it is possible that clinical and procedural factors, including device manipulation and operator's technique, may have contributed to the reported failure.At this time, there is no evidence to support that the issue reported in the complaint is a result of a defect inherently related to the device.Lake region medical performed a review of the device history records relative to the manufacturing, inspection, and packaging of the lot 8269488.The history record indicates this product was final inspection tested at lake region medical and was determined to be acceptable.As part of the cerenovus quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.It should be noted that product failure could be caused by multiple factors.The instructions for use (ifu) does contain the following recommendations: if resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of resistance before proceeding.Do not apply undue force if resistance is encountered at any point during stent manipulation.Withdraw the unit and advance a new one.Based on the manufacturing documentation review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended for statistical signals and corrective/preventive action may be triggered at a later time.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.This is one of 2 products involved with the reported complaint.The associated manufacturer report numbers are: 3008114965-2023-00971 and 3008114965-2023-00972.The manufacturer will submit a supplemental report if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Additional information will be submitted within 30 days of receipt.
