Manufacturer Narrative

Exemption number e2016032.William cook europe aps (manufacturer) is submitting this report on behalf of cook medical incorporated (cmi) (importer).Manufacturers ref# (b)(4).G1) name and address for importer site: cook medical incorporated (cmi), 400 daniels way, bloomington, in 47404, registration no.: 3005580113.Summary of investigational findings: investigation is based on event description only.It was reported that the patient presented with purpura in the right lower extremity 4 days after a tevar procedure.Seven days later the symptom was diagnosed as "embolization of hydrophilic-coating".After wait-and-see approach was followed, the purpura disappeared 15 days after being diagnosed.No product was returned and no imaging was provided.Therefore, it would be inappropriate to speculate at what may or may not have caused the purpura and if it had any relation to "embolization of hydrophilic-coating".It is not reported if the embolization was diagnosed from an investigation of the wire guide or solely on the skin biopsy performed, but it is noted that the purpura disappeared 15 days after being diagnosed without treatment.No evidence to suggest that this device was not manufactured according to specifications.Cook medical will continue to monitor for similar events.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
