Event Description
|
The healthcare professional reported that during an endovascular embolization procedure, the 5mm x 10cm orbit galaxy complex fill coil (640cf0510 / 30856377) was the first coil used.The coil reportedly could not be advanced nor retrieved by the physician.The physician removed the coil and the concomitant microcatheter at the same time and after inspection, the embolic coil was observed in stretched condition.The physician used a ¿same like¿ product to successfully complete the procedure.There was no report of any negative patient impact.

Manufacturer¿s ref.No: (b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to report that multiple attempts to obtain additional information related to the procedure, the reported device issue, and to obtain the product for analysis were unsuccessful.If additional information is available at a later date and the product is returned, the file will be updated accordingly.Product analysis cannot be conducted as the product was not returned for analysis.No determination of causes and possible contributing factors could be made.As such, the investigation will be closed.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (30856377) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no nonconformances related to device manufacture or inspection.With the information available and without the complaint product available to be returned for analysis, the reported issue documented in the complaint cannot be confirmed through functional evaluation and analysis.Based on the manufacturing documentation review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.Assignment of root cause for the event remains speculative and inconclusive, based on the limited information provided and without the return of the complaint sample; however, it is possible that clinical and procedural factors, including device manipulation / interaction may have contributed to the reported failure.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.

Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturer¿s ref.(b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to report the investigational finding of the returned device.The complaint product was returned and received for evaluation and analysis.The investigation is documented below.Investigation summary: a non-sterile 5mm x 10cm orbit galaxy complex fill coil was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Visual inspection was performed.The coil component was observed to be partially inside the introducer tube.Microscopic inspection was performed.The coil was observed stretched and the blue stretch resistance fiber was exposed.The coil remained attached to the headpiece.The issue regarding a coil being stretched was confirmed during the microscopic inspection, however due to this stretched condition the issue documented in the complaint that the coil could not be advanced could not be evaluated through functional testing.The stretched condition suggests that the device was forcibly advanced through the microcatheter in an attempt to overcome the resistance encountered.Coil stretching is a known potential issue associated with the use of this device.The instructions for use (ifu) provides proper handling instructions for the device to prevent such issues from occurring.According to the risk documentation, resistance in microcatheter is a potential issue that can occur during microcoil placement due to excessively tortuous anatomy, which can result in coil stretching.Continuous flush being interrupted during embolic coil introduction is another potential failure mode that can result in the coil not being delivered to the treatment site, without an adequate flush, issues such as resistance between the coil and the microcatheter can arise.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (30856377) 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 is multifactorial.The instructions for use (ifu) contains the following precautions and warnings: 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.During coil retraction, verify under fluoroscopy that a one-to-one relationship exists between the delivery tube and the coil.If not, the coil has been stretched, which could lead to premature detachment or coil fracture.If the one-to-one relationship does not exist, remove the infusion catheter and the detachable coil as an assembly and replace.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.
