Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the left internal carotid artery (ica) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, the smart coil would not advance from its initial position within its introducer sheath.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.The procedure was completed using two smart coils and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.

Results: the pet lock was intact on the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted proximal to the introducer sheath friction lock.The embolization coil was undamaged and intact with the pusher assembly.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted proximal to the introducer sheath friction lock.If this occurs, resistance will likely be experienced while advancing the device.During functional testing, resistance was encountered while advancing the smart coil from its returned position due to the pusher assembly mid-joint was proximal to the introducer sheath friction lock and the smart coil could not advance at all.After the smart coil was properly re-sheathed within its introducer sheath, the smart coil was able to advance through its introducer sheath and a demonstration microcatheter without issue.Penumbra coils are visually inspected during in-process inspection and during quality inspection after manufacturing.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.H3 other text : placeholder.
