Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the anterior choroidal artery using penumbra smart coils (smart coil), a smart coil detachment handle (handle), a non-penumbra microcatheter, a non-penumbra catheter, and a guidewire.It was noted that the patient¿s anatomy was mildly tortuous.During the procedure, while attempting to advance a smart coil, the physician experienced resistance and the smart coil would not advance at all past its initial position within its introducer sheath.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.The procedure was completed using another smart coil 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Evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted through the introducer sheath friction lock.If this occurs, resistance may be experienced during advancement.Forceful advancement against this resistance likely contributed to the kink 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, and no further issues occurred after the pusher assembly mid-joint was out of the friction lock.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.
