Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Results: the pet lock was intact on the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted within the introducer sheath friction lock.The embolization coil was undamaged and intact with the pusher assembly.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted within the introducer sheath friction lock.If this occurs, resistance will likely be experienced while advancing the device and the device may not be advanced out of the introducer sheath.During functional testing, the pusher assembly mid-joint was advanced through the introducer sheath friction lock with resistance.After the pusher assembly mid-joint passed through the introducer sheath friction lock, the smart coil was able to advance through its introducer sheath and a demonstration microcatheter 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.
Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the anterior communicating artery (acomm) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, the physician positioned the introducer sheath of the first smart coil into the rotating hemostasis valve (rhv) and hub of the microcatheter.The physician made multiple attempts to advance the smart coil, including moving their fingers to the side of the friction lock.However, the smart coil would not advance from the starting position.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.The procedure was completed using a new smart coil.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
