(b)(4).Catalog # igtcfs-65-2-uni-celect.Similar to device under 510(k) k090140.Summary of investigational findings: investigation is based on event description and returned product.Femoral introducer with loaded filter returned.Red locking mechanism still locked.One secondary leg is severely deformed, two other secondary legs are crossed and slightly bending outwards - probably because the filter was retrieved through the check flo.Since the sheath is not returned, the exact reason for the filter/introducer to stick cannot be determined, but the sheath may not be the reason, since a second celect filter could be advanced.Or advancement may have been abandoned, if sheath was kinked and filter "didn't advance normally." there is found no evidence to suggest that this device was not manufactured according to specifications.Cook medical will continue to monitor for similar events.
