As reported, the angioguard 6mm filter basket got stuck while attempting to pull out.The device was flushed multiple times, but by the time they got it out, it was ruined.An excessive amount of force was used while trying.There was no reported injury to the patient as it was not used in the patient.The product was stored and handled per the instructions for use (ifu).The product was inspected and prepped per the ifu.There was nothing unusual noted about the device prior to use.Upon opening the package, the deployment sheath tip was still fully seated in the filter basket introducer.There was no difficulty encountered flushing the filter introducer and deployment sheath.Saline was not noted within the coil dispenser at the green deployment sheath hub.The anti-migration clip located closest to the filter introducer was left in place until after the filter basket was docked into the deployment sheath.There was no difficulty while docking the filter basket into the deployment sheath.The capture sheath was never opened.The intended target lesion was in the common carotid.The device will be returned for evaluation.

A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with lot 35261749 presented no issues during the manufacturing process that can be related to the reported event.The angioguard 6mm filter basket got stuck while attempting to pull out.The device was flushed multiple times, but by the time they got it out, it was ruined.An excessive amount of force was used while trying.The product was stored and handled per the instructions for use (ifu).The product was inspected and prepped per the ifu.There was nothing unusual noted about the device prior to use.Upon opening the package, the deployment sheath tip was still fully seated in the filter basket introducer.There was no difficulty encountered flushing the filter introducer and deployment sheath.Saline was not noted within the coil dispenser at the green deployment sheath hub.The anti-migration clip located closest to the filter introducer was left in place until after the filter basket was docked into the deployment sheath.There was no difficulty while docking the filter basket into the deployment sheath.The capture sheath was never opened.The intended target lesion was in the common carotid.There was no reported injury to the patient as it was not used in the patient.The device was returned for analysis.A non-sterile unit of a ¿6mm basket, medium support¿ was received inside of a clear plastic bag.Device was unpacked to perform the visual evaluation.The returned components are the deployment sheath, the ecgw system and the torquing device, the rest of the components were not returned for analysis.The ecgw system was received inserted inside the deployment sheath.An unzipped condition was observed located approximately at 31 cm from the distal tip with an approximately length of 20 cm.The filter basket is over capture.No other outstanding details were observed on the returned part.The filter basket area was magnified with a vision system to perform the evaluation.As a result of this inspection no anomalies or damages were observed neither on the filter struts nor on the membrane walls.A product history record (phr) review of lot 35261749 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿filter basket ~ damaged - during prep¿ was not confirmed.No damages were observed on the filter basket.However, an unzipped condition is present on the returned product.The exact cause of the unzipped condition could not be conclusive determined during the analysis.Based on the product analysis, the filter basket presented no anomalies and therefore, it is probable that the user may have prepped the device incorrectly.According to the instructions for use, ¿the package contains two plastic coil dispensers.One contains the guidewire with filter basket, filter basket introducer, peel away guidewire introducer, torque device, and black/yellow deployment sheath.The second contains the blue capture sheath, which will not be needed until the filter basket is ready to be removed from the vessel.During shipping the deployment sheath tip may become disengaged from the filter basket introducer.Verify deployment sheath tip is engaged.If not, engage manually by inserting deployment sheath tip into filter basket introducer.Fill a 10-ml luer lock syringe with sterile saline and purge all air from syringe.Attach syringe to luer lock hub on the end of the filter basket introducer.Inject 10 ml of saline to purge all air from the deployment sheath and filter basket (ensure distal tip of the deployment sheath is engaged with the filter basket introducer tip prior to purging the system).You may see saline dripping along the length of the deployment sheath.Flushing is complete when saline is seen within coil dispenser at the green deployment sheath hub.Disconnect syringe.Remove the two anti-migration clips closest to torque device and pull to ensure torque device is securely attached to guidewire.Gripping the torque device in one hand and the coil dispenser in the other, pull on the wire until the basket is completely docked into the tip of the deployment sheath.When completely docked, approximately half the filter basket will still be visible out the end of the deployment sheath.Remove the last anti-migration clip.Open the torque device.Gripping the torque device in one hand and the proximal end of the guidewire in the other, pull the wire through the torque device until the proximal end of the deployment sheath hub engages the torque nut.Lock the torque device onto the guidewire; ensure the deployment sheath hub remains engaged with the torque nut.Pull the wire and deployment sheath out of dispenser coil.The deployment sheath is now prepped and ready for use.¿ neither the phr review, nor the product analysis suggests that the reported event could be related to the manufacturing process of the unit.Therefore, no corrective or preventive actions will be taken.
