Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using penumbra smart coils (smart coils).During the procedure, the physician reported two smart coils would not deploy.No additional information has been provided.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Results: the pet lock was intact on the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The pusher assembly mid-joint was proximal to the introducer sheath friction lock.The embolization coil was intact with its pusher assembly and undamaged.Conclusions: evaluation of the first returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted through the introducer sheath friction lock.If this occurs, resistance may be experienced during advancement.Forceful advancement against this resistance likely contributed to the kink observed near the pusher assembly mid-joint.During functional testing, the pusher assembly mid-joint was unable to be advanced through the introducer sheath friction lock.Further evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed bends throughout the length of the pusher assembly.This damage was likely incidental to the reported complaint.Evaluation of the second returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted through the introducer sheath friction lock.If this occurs, resistance may be experienced during advancement, and the pusher assembly may not advance at all.During functional testing, the pusher assembly mid-joint was advanced through the introducer sheath friction lock with resistance, and the embolization was then advanced out of its introducer sheath without an 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.This report is associated with mfr report number: 3005168196-2020-01797.
