Event Description
|
It was reported during treatment of cavernous fistula, flushed coil and multiple catheters.Fairly tortuous anatomy.Coil did feel less smooth than normal but not overly noticeable at the time.About 2cm of coil was deployed out of the catheter when the physician decided to resheath and reposition the loops.The coil would not resheath.The coil could also not be pushed out any further.After several attempts without success, the pusher wire was retracted but found to be without coil.The physician then tried to pull the microcatheter into the guiding catheter.Eventually the catheter/coil devices had to be pulled out.There was a reported 3 hour delay in the procedure as noted to be a result from having to take all products out to retrieve coil.It took time to reaccess.Had to cut benchmark catheter just outside the sheath as the coil was stuck inside the benchmark.It is noted the patient has a permanent 6th nerve palsy 95%.The physician reported that it was probably unrelated to the coil and most likely related to the onyx.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
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.The visual analysis of the returned items found the microcatheter returned cut.A pair of surgical scissors with a portion of stretched thick, flat coils were also returned for evaluation.The thick, flat coils and thin coils which were stretched out and located between the severed parts of the microcatheter were part of the microcatheter itself.After a thorough investigation, no evidence of the coil system being stuck inside the returned catheter was found; furthermore, the coil system in question - complained against, was not returned for evaluation.Without the device being returned and evaluated, the investigation could not test or assess the alleged product issue.The instructions for use (ifu) identifies premature coil detachment as a potential complication associated¿with the use of the device.
