Event Description

As reported by a health care professional, during a coil embolization procedure of an aneurysm at the anterior communicating artery the orbit galaxy (640cf0824/17383917) failed to re-sheath.A 6fr guiding sheath (competitor's device) was approached from the right femoral artery to left internal carotid artery.A micro-catheter (competitor) was approached to the aneurysm at the anterior communicating artery and the coil embolization of the aneurysm was started.The complaint orbit galaxy was used for placement.The physician coiled the coil several times; however, he was not able to frame the coil as it was supposed to be.The coil was not conforming to the walls of the aneurysm during framing.He then tried to re-sheath the coil but couldn't do it as the zipper was stuck.Eventually, he retrieved the coil with microcatheter and used a spare coil.The procedure was successfully completed without further issues or delay.The patient was a (b)(6) year old male, the patient vessels were not calcified and the level of tortuousness was mild.There were also no patient injuries or complications reported.The complaint product was new and stored per labeling instructions.The procedure was conducted in accordance with the ifu and the constant flush had been maintained at all times.No visible defect/damage was noted on the products prior to and after the event.No unintended detachment was observed in the vessel or in the microcatheter.The complaint product will be returned for the investigation.No further information is available.

Manufacturer Narrative

This is one of one final mdr report being submitted for this complaint with associate mfr report# 3008264254-2016-00055.Device returned for investigation.A non-sterile orbit galaxy tdl cmplx fill coil 8x24 was received coiled inside of a plastic bag.The hypotube was inspected and no damages were noted on it.The introducer was received unzipped and it was found elongated.The support coil gripper and the embolic coil were found outside the introducer.The introducer, gripper and the embolic coil were inspected under microscope; the introducer was found elongated while no damages were noted on the gripper and the embolic coil.(just residues of dry saline solution can be observed on the gripper).The functional test cannot be performed as the introducer was found elongated and it could not be re-zipped.A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with this lot 17383917 presented no issues during the manufacturing process that can be related to the reported complaint.The failures reported by the customer as ¿coil ¿ positioning difficulty and coil ¿ impeded could not be evaluated.The reported failure of ¿coil introducer ¿ zipping difficulty re-zipping¿ was confirmed.The cause of the failure experienced by the customer appears to be due to the condition of the introducer (elongated).The elongated condition noted on the introducer was apparently caused due to excessive force applied on the device but it could not be conclusively determined.Neither the analysis nor the dhr suggest that the failure reported could be related to the manufacturing process; procedural factors appear to have contributed to this failure.Since there was no evidence of a manufacturing issue related to the event, no corrective action will be taken at this time.
