Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the basilar artery using penumbra smart coils (smart coils) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, a smart coil became stuck in the introducer sheath after the physician had experienced resistance while advancing the smart coil.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.The procedure was completed using three new smart coils and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted proximal to the introducer sheath friction lock.If this occurs, resistance will likely be experienced during advancement and the device may not be advanced out of the introducer sheath.Forceful advancement against this resistance may have contributed to the kinks which were observed near the pusher assembly mid-joint.During functional testing, the pusher assembly mid-joint was advanced through the introducer sheath friction lock with resistance.Then the smart coil was able to advance through the 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.H3 other text : placeholder.
