Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history revealed no other similar complaints reported from this lot.Based on the information provided, the investigation determined that the reported difficulties were user related.Failing to use the provided barewire filter delivery wire as instructed in the product instruction for use resulted in the filter coming off the non-abbott guide wire resulting in migration of the filter.It should be noted the emboshield nav6 embolic protection system electronic instructions for use (ifu) warns: the emboshield nav6 device can only be used with the barewire filter delivery wire.Use of the device with any guide wire other than the barewire filter delivery wire will lead to loss of the filtration element during the procedure or an inability to retrieve the filtration element.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
