Event Description
|
The healthcare professional originally reported that a catheter was kinked at ¿5cm from the hub or tip.When it was first opened.¿ the physician used a ¿same like¿ product and the procedure was successfully completed.There was no report of any negative patient impact.Multiple attempts to obtain additional information related to the procedure and the reported device issue were unsuccessful.If additional information is received at a later date, this file will be updated accordingly.On (b)(6) 2023, the product analysis lab received the returned package that contains an orbit galaxy coil and a trufill syringe.A request for clarification related to the products received and the original event description documented in the complaint was made.A response was received from the korean affiliates on 28-jun-2023 revising the original reported event to the following: ¿as a result of inquiring with logistics, it was confirmed that the syringe was included by mistake and was not related to the defective product.¿ a request was also made to update the reported event to the following: ¿this coil [3mm x 6cm orbit galaxy complex xtrasoft (640cx0306 / 30620247)] was the second coil.The coil could not be advanced nor retrieved by the physician.The physician pulled the coil and the [microcatheter] at the same time.After inspection, it turned out to be stretched.The physician used a same like product.The procedure was successfully finished.¿ there was no report of any negative patient impact.Based on the additional information received on 28-jun-2023, with the updated event description, the event has been deemed usfda reportable under 21 cfr 803 with a classification of ¿malfunction.¿.

Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturer¿s ref.No: (b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to report the investigation finding of the returned device.The complaint device was returned for evaluation and analysis.The investigation finding is documented below.Investigation summary: a non-sterile 3mm x 6cm orbit galaxy complex xtrasoft was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Visual inspection was performed.It was observed that the hypo-tube was broken in two (2) pieces; it was also observed to be kinked condition.The returned complaint device underwent microscopic inspection.It was observed that the embolic coil was no longer attached to the gripper and it was not returned.The gripper was inspected and no elongation marks were found; an indicated that the coil was mechanically detached.The issue documented in the complaint that the coil could not be advanced nor retrieved by the physician could not be evaluated through proper functional test since the device was returned incomplete.However, the condition of the hypo-tube suggests that the device was forcibly advanced due to the resistance encountered during the procedure and the issue can be confirmed based on this finding.According to the risk documentation, delivery tube / embolic coil not pushing through the microcatheter or encountering resistance in microcatheter is a potential failure mode that can occur during embolic coil placement due to 1) excessively tortuous anatomy, 2) incompatibility with microcatheter, 3) clot formation in the microcatheter.The coil stretching as reported in the event cannot be confirmed since the embolic coil component was not returned for further evaluation; the complaint detailed that there was no additional damage noted on the coil aside from the stretched condition.The coil detachment was not originally reported in the complaint, and its exact time of occurrence cannot be determined based on the amount of evidence available; thus, it is not considered a contributing factor nor a consequence of the reported failure.Coil stretching is a known potential issue associated with the use of this device.According to the risk documentation, coil stretching can occur during embolic coil placement due to excessive system manipulation, which may have been prompted by the resistance encountered during the procedure.The instructions for use (ifu) provides proper handling instructions for the device to prevent such issues from occurring.It is possible that clinical and procedural factors, including device manipulation and operator's technique, may have contributed to the reported failure.There is no indication that the issue reported in the complaint is a result of a defect inherently related to the device.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (30620247) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no nonconformances related to device manufacture or inspection.As part of the cerenovus quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.It should be noted that product failure could be caused by multiple factors.The instructions for use (ifu) contain the following precaution: ¿ if unusual friction is still noticed during advancement or retraction of the microcoil system, verify flush lines are open and properly pressurized.Then slowly withdraw the entire microcoil system and examine for damage.Replace it with a new microcoil system.If friction still exists, withdraw and examine the delivery catheter system.Based on the manufacturing documentation review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended for statistical signals and corrective / preventive action may be triggered at a later time.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.The manufacturer will submit a supplemental report if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Additional information will be submitted within 30 days of receipt.
