Manufacturer Narrative

During prep, the 6mm basket, medium support angioguard embolic capture guidewire system could not be removed from the tray.The procedure was completed with another angioguard device.The product was inspected and prepped according to the instructions for use (ifu).The product was stored and handled according to the ifu.There was nothing unusual noted about the device prior to use.The intended target vessel was the carotid artery.Upon receipt of device for analysis, product evaluation and analysis demonstrate the distal area of the delivery sheath presents an accordioned condition and the distal tip of the ecgw system presents an unraveled condition.The damages were noted after prep.There was no reported patient injury.The device was returned for analysis.Per visual analysis, a non-sterile unit of angioguard ¿6mm basket, medium support¿ was received inside of a clear plastic bag.Device was unpacked from the pouch in order to perform the product evaluation.The components returned included on the shipping are the delivery sheath and the ecgw system, the filter introducer, and the torqueing device.The rest of the parts included the packaging were not returned for analysis.The ecgw system was received already inserted into the delivery sheath.The filter basket was found stuck inside the delivery sheath, the distal area of the delivery sheath presents an accordioned condition and the distal tip of the ecgw system presents a unravel condition.No other damages or anomalies were observed on the inspected components.The filter basket area was magnified with a vision system to perform the evaluation.The accordioned and unravel conditions were confirmed.A product history record (phr) review of lot 35261344 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿packaging/pouch/box - removal difficulty system from dispenser (embolic protection device)¿ was not confirmed due to the main component involved, was not returned for analysis.However, it should be noted that this case during the product evaluation of the returned unit, the analysis demonstrated that the distal area of the delivery sheath presented an accordioned condition and the distal tip of the ecgw system presented an unraveled condition.Upon further investigation, by the analysts, it was verified that the customer stated that these damages were noted after prep.The ¿deployment (delivery) sheath - accordioned¿ was confirmed, the distal area of the delivery sheath presented an accordioned condition as received.The ¿distal tip (ecgw) - unraveled/stretched¿ was confirmed, the distal tip of the ecgw system presents a unravel condition as received.The instructions for use (ifu) cautions users to inspect for signs of damage prior to and during use.The ifu instructs any product with damage to not be used.Additionally, per the instructions for use (ifu) ¿the package contains two plastic coil dispensers.One contains the guidewire with filter basket, filter basket introducer, peel away guidewire introducer, torque device, and black/yellow deployment sheath.The second contains the blue capture sheath, which will not be needed until the filter basket is ready to be removed from the vessel.During shipping the deployment sheath tip may become disengaged from the filter basket introducer.Verify deployment sheath tip is engaged.If not, engage manually by inserting deployment sheath tip into filter basket introducer.¿ it is difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the events based on the information available.However, procedural and or handling factors such as the user¿s interaction while prepping the device as well as shipping and delivery conditions may have led to the reported events.Neither the phr review nor the product analysis suggests that the reported failures could be related to the manufacturing process of the unit.Therefore, no corrective or preventive actions will be taken at this time.
