Event or Problem Description
The healthcare professional reported that during the emergency isolation coil embolization at the distal splenic artery, after the 2mm x 8cm galaxy g3 xtrasoft coil was implanted in the main splenic artery using the carry leon microcatheter (utm) and the carry leon high-flow microcatheter (utm) using the coaxial technique, three more coils of the same size was implanted and then the complaint coil, a 3mm x 8cm galaxy g3 coil (gly120308 / k10094) was inserted to pack the parent blood vessel that has been packed back, but the coil could not be detached with the enpower control cable.The detachment button was pressed repeatedly four times.The coil was successfully removed from the patient because it was paired with the delivery wire.The coil was still attached to the delivery system when it was removed.After confirming with angiography that there was embolization, the procedure was considered completed.The reported issue did not result in any clinically significant delay in the procedure.There was no report of any patient adverse event or complication.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturer¿s ref.No: (b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to report the investigational finding of the returned device.[conclusion]: the healthcare professional reported that during the emergency isolation coil embolization at the distal splenic artery, after the 2mm x 8cm galaxy g3 xtrasoft coil was implanted in the main splenic artery using the carry leon microcatheter (utm) and the carry leon high-flow microcatheter (utm) using the coaxial technique, three more coils of the same size was implanted and then the complaint coil, a 3mm x 8cm galaxy g3 coil (gly120308 / k10094) was inserted to pack the parent blood vessel that has been packed back, but the coil could not be detached with the enpower control cable.The detachment button was pressed repeatedly four times.The coil was successfully removed from the patient because it was paired with the delivery wire.The coil was still attached to the delivery system when it was removed.After confirming with angiography that there was embolization, the procedure was considered completed.The reported issue did not result in any clinically significant delay in the procedure.There was no report of any patient adverse event or complication.The returned complaint device underwent evaluation and analysis.The investigational finding is documented below.Investigation summary: the non-sterile 2mm x 8cm galaxy g3 xtrasoft coil was received ctonained in a pouch.Visual inspection was performed.The device positioning unit (dpu) was observed kinked at 128cm from the proximal end.The marker band was located at 43 cm from the hub; this is within specification.The embolic coil was separated from the device.No other anomalies were observed.Microscopic inspection was performed.The resistance heating (rh) coil was observed in normal condition without any evidence that it had been heated.The embolic coil as noted during the visual inspection was separated from the device; the coil had been mechanically separated and appeared in stretched condition under magnification.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (k10094) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no nonconformances related to device manufacture or inspection.All product rejected during manufacturing was identified as scrap and properly accounted for.The complaint documented that the complaint coil was used to pack the parent blood vessel, but the coil could not be detached.Based on the evaluation performed on the returned device, the failure to detach issue was not confirmed although the embolic coil was observed separated from the rest of the device and the rh coil did not show evidence that it had been heated.The mechanically separated coil is likely due to force though this cannot be conclusively determined.Coil stretching is a known potential issue associated with the use of this device.The ifu provides proper handling instructions for the device to prevent such issue from occurring.Stretching can occur during procedure handling where force may have been inadvertently applied.The stretched condition of the embolic coil was not originally reported with the complaint.The exact cause of the observed stretched condition could not be conclusively determined; however, it may have been the result of inadvertent force that may have been applied during the procedural handling attempt to detach the coil.After four attempts at pressing the detachment button, it was reported that the coil was removed from the patient when it paired with the delivery wire.The coil may have become stretched during the removal from the patient.Based on the device history record review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.In addition, devices also undergo 100% inspection at final assembly for the condition of the embolic coil.Thus, it is not likely that the 2mm x 8cm galaxy g3 xtrasoft coil left the manufacturing facility with the embolic coil separated from the device and in stretched condition as observed during the microscopic inspection.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 of failure to detach 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.
