Event or Problem Description
|
|
As reported by the field, during a coil embolization of a saccular aneurysm to the internal carotid artery (ica), a 2mm x 6cm deltaxsft10 (dlx100206, l16259) failed to detach after deploying the coil into the aneurysm.The surgery was delayed due to the reported event.The procedure was successfully completed.The device was removed easily without additional intervention.There was no report of patient injury.Additional information received indicated that pre-deployment electrical testing was performed.The same detachment control box (dcb) and the same control cable were used successfully with subsequent coils.It was reported that the same coil was finally implanted in the patient, however, it was also noted that the actual coil was still attached to the coil delivery system when removed from the patient and is available for return, (this will be further investigated).The coil did not become stretched or damaged when removed.No excessive force was applied to the device.It was not necessary to remove the concomitant devices with the complaint device.The concomitant devices functioned as expected.Adequate flush was maintained through the devices.The target site was not tortuous.

Product complaint # (b)(4).A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Complaint conclusion: as reported by the field, during a coil embolization of a saccular aneurysm to the internal carotid artery (ica), a 2mm x 6cm deltaxsft10 (dlx100206, l16259) failed to detach after deploying the coil into the aneurysm.The surgery was delayed due to the reported event.The procedure was successfully completed.The device was removed easily without additional intervention.There was no report of patient injury.Additional information received indicated that pre-deployment electrical testing was performed.The same detachment control box (dcb) and the same control cable were used successfully with subsequent coils.The complaint coil was removed, and another coil was used.The actual coil was still attached to the coil delivery system when removed from the patient.The coil did not become stretched or damaged when removed.No excessive force was applied to the device.It was not necessary to remove the concomitant devices with the complaint device.The concomitant devices functioned as expected.Adequate flush was maintained through the devices.The target site was not tortuous.A non-sterile deltaxsft10 2mm x 6cm was returned to cerenovus for evaluation.The device was inspected, and it was found that part of the embolic coil is detached inside the introducer, the proximal part of the embolic coil is protruding from introducer.The core wire was also noted with a kinked condition, no other damages or anomalies were observed during the visual analysis.The embolic coil was inspected under microscope and it was found mechanically detached from the rest of the device, however no damages were observed on it.A functional test could not be performed due to the embolic coil was found mechanically detached from the rest of the device.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device l16259 number, and no non-conformances related to the reported complaint condition were identified.Cerenovus conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.A functional test could not be performed due to the conditions in which the device was returned.The visual analysis of the returned sample determined that part of the embolic coil is detached from the rest of the device, also the proximal part of the embolic coil is protruded from introducer.Due this condition the functional test could not be performed since the embolic coil was not attached to the device.Also, the core wire was noted with a kinked condition.Based on the findings during the analysis, the customer complaint was confirmed.A microscopic test was performed, and it was found that the embolic coil was mechanically detached from the rest of the device, however no damages were observed on it.Although the embolic coil was noted mechanically detached, this condition could be related with the customer experience regarding a failure to detach, based on this information, the customer complaint was confirmed.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed, and no non-conformances related to the reported complaint condition were identified.It should be noted that product failure is multifactorial.The instructions for use do contain the following recommendations: ¿ verify that the microcoil delivery system is fully connected, and no faults are indicated on the dcb.If a fault exists, reseat all connections between the dpu, the dcb, and the connecting cable.If a fault still persists, replace the connecting cable.If this does not correct the error, replace the dcb.If the microcoil delivery system still continues to have a fault, retrieve the microcoil as described in the following section, re sheathing the microcoil system, and replace with a new microcoil system.Assignment of root cause for the event remains speculative and inconclusive, based on the limited information provided and the evidence presented by the returned device; however, it is possible that clinical and procedural factors, including device manipulation and device interaction, may have contributed to the reported failure.As part of the cerenovus quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended to identify statistical signals for consideration of further correction action.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
