The fields were updated per additional information received.Investigation: the following allegations have been investigated: fracture, organ/vena cava (vc) perforation, tilt.The reported allegations have been further investigated based on the information provided to date.Filter fracture has been reported and may be either symptomatic or asymptomatic.Fracture of a filter leg may be due to repetitive motion on a filter leg in an unusual, stressed position, such as a filter leg penetrating/perforating the ivc; or a filter leg being caught in a side branch (e.G., a renal vein).Other potential causes of filter fracture may include excessive force or manipulations near an implanted filter (e.G., a surgical or endovascular procedure in the vicinity of a filter).Retrieval of a fractured filter or filter fragments (including embolized fragments) using endovascular techniques has been reported.Potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: filter fracture, filter or filter fragment embolization, trauma to adjacent structures.Filter interacts with ivc wall, e.G.Penetration/perforation/embedment.This may be either symptomatic or asymptomatic.Potential causes may include improper deployment; and (or) excessive force or manipulations near an in-situ filter (e.G., a surgical or endovascular procedure in the vicinity of a filter).Potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: trauma to adjacent structures, vascular trauma, vena cava perforation, vena cava penetration.Filter tilt has been reported.Potential causes may include filter placement in ivcs with diameters larger than those specified in these instructions for use; improper deployment; manipulations near an implanted filter (e.G., a surgical or endovascular procedure in the vicinity of a filter); and (or) a failed retrieval attempt.Excessive filter tilt may contribute to difficult or failed retrieval; vena cava wall penetration/perforation; and (or) result in loss of filter efficiency.Potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: unacceptable filter tilt.8 devices in lot.No relevant notes on work order.The product is manufactured and inspected according to specifications.No evidence to suggest that this device was not manufactured according to specifications and nothing indicates that the filter did not perform as intended, e.G.Intended for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (pe) via placement in the vena cava.This report includes information known at this time.A follow-up medwatch report will be submitted if additional relevant information becomes available.
