Manufacturer Narrative

The returned q6 device was received in two (2) separate pieces fully traceable with mivi lot number.No additional components were received for analysis.Distal shaft appeared normal, distal end not damaged, proximal edge (where catheter segment and push wire attach) was split and displayed physical damage.Based on device analysis and type of damage, the most likely scenario for the push wire detachment is that the proximal edge of the q6 tubular segment either interacted with just the distal tip of the guide catheter or with the distal tip of the guide catheter in conjunction with a guidewire.This interaction caused damage resulting in a separation of the push wire from the tubular segment.The type of damage is indicative of the device being retracted while experiencing excessive resistance.Accessory devices were not returned for analysis.Manufacturing records for the device lot did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality records issues.(b)(4).

Event Description

It was reported that during a stroke procedure the q catheter was used but complete revascularization was not achieved.The q catheter was reintroduced into the vasculature, upon retraction resistance was felt.The catheter was forcible retracted and separated into two pieces with one piece remaining in the patients body.Attempts made to snare the piece were unsuccessful.Detached segment was successfully retrieved during carotid endarterectomy.
