Manufacturer Narrative
As reported via the legal department, notification of legal action was received.One plaintiff underwent placement of a trapease permanent vena cava filter.The device subsequently malfunctioned and caused, inter alia, fractured, perforated his vena cava, and caused thrombosis of the vena cava and filter.As a result of these malfunctions, he suffered life-threatening injuries and damages and required extensive medical care and treatment, including multiple medical procedures.Plaintiff has suffered and will continue to suffer significant medical expenses, extreme pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disability, and other losses.No additional information is available.The device remains implanted in the patient and is not available for inspection.Manufacturing records (dhr) could not be reviewed, as the product catalog and lot number are not available.The purpose of a vena cava filter is to catch thrombus (a clot of blood formed within a blood vessel) from the lower extremities as it travels along normal blood flow patterns up towards the heart.Thrombus in the filter or within the vessel does not represent a device malfunction.Thrombosis in the filter is a well-known potential complication and occurs in approximately 3.6 to 11.2% of all patients.As such, it is addressed in the product¿s instructions for use (ifu).Factors that may contribute to thrombus may include patient factors, pharmacological and lesion characteristics.The reported ¿filter fracture¿ could not be confirmed as the filter was not available for analysis nor were procedural films were not provided for review.As such, the root cause of the fracture could not be determined.Based on the limited information for review, factors contributing to the fracture could not be conclusively determined.The ifu states filter fracture and perforation of the vena cava wall are potential complications of implantation of vena cava filters.Anatomic locations that create concentrated stress points from filter deformation (for example, deployment at apex of scoliosis, overlapping of either of the renal ostia, or placement adjacent to a vertebral osteophyte) may contribute to fracture of a particular filter strut.Based on the limited information available for review, there is no indication of a design or manufacturing related cause for this event.Therefore, no corrective action will be taken at this time.Should additional information become available, the file will be updated accordingly.
