H10: manufacturing review: a manufacturing review was not required as this is the only complaint reported to date for this product and lot.Investigation summary: the device was not returned for evaluation.Five electronic images were reviewed.The image shows a deployed vena cava filter.The x-ray is ¿zoomed-in¿ and therefore typical anatomic landmarks are not visualized.The filter has at least three legs that appear kinked and filter not fully expanded after deployment.Based on the image review, material deformation and activation failure including expansion failures can be confirmed.Therefore, the investigation is confirmed for material deformation and activation failure including expansion failure as the filter legs appear to be kinked and filter not fully expanded after deployment.A definitive root cause for the reported material deformation and activation failure including expansion failures could not be determined based upon the provided information.Labeling review: a review of product labeling documentation (e.G., procedural instructions, indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, contraindications, nursing guide, and unit label) did not find any product labeling inadequacy.H10: the catalog number identified in section d4 has not been cleared in the us but is similar to the denali products that are cleared in the us.The pro code and 510 k number for the denali products are identified in d2 and g4.H10: d4 (expiry date: 09/2022).H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
