The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the m1 segment of the middle cerebral artery (mca) using a penumbra engine, a penumbra canister (canister) and a penumbra system ace 68 reperfusion catheter (ace68).During the procedure, the canister was placed onto the engine and then the ace68 was connected to the engine.Afterwards, aspiration was initiated; however, not enough vacuum was observed coming from the distal tip of the ace68.Therefore, the canister was removed.The procedure was completed using a new canister, the same engine, and the same ace68.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Evaluation of the returned canister revealed blood inside and outside of the canister housing.Due to the returned condition, the canister was unable to be functionally tested; therefore, the root cause of the reported complaint could not be determined.Penumbra canisters are 100% visually inspected and functionally tested by the supplier.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.Section h.Box 6.Conclusions code 1: 4316 - the investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the root cause of the reported complaint due to the return condition.
