Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the lumbar artery using penumbra smart coils (smart coils), a non-penumbra microcatheter, and an angiographic catheter.It should be noted that the patient's anatomy was tortuous.During the procedure, the physician successfully implanted ten smart coils.While attempting to advance the next smart coil, the coil would not advance past its initial position within its introducer sheath.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.The procedure was completed using another smart coil, the same microcatheter, and the same angiographic catheter.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Evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted proximal to the introducer sheath friction lock.If this occurs, resistance will likely be experienced during advancement and the device may not be advanced out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.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 its 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.
