Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturer ref# (b)(4).Summary of investigational findings: it was reported that neither right nor left ij access could be performed due to prior cervical spine accident so the access site to place the jugular filter was at cubital.The filter introducer was not able to make the bend coming down from the subclavian to the ivc through the introducer sheath (b)(4).Another device from a different lot was tried but the same thing happened again, the filter introducer was not able to make the bend.A competitor¿s device was used instead and completed the procedure successfully (b)(4).It was assessed that because any discovered non-conformances were properly dispositioned before qc release, there is evidence that the dhr was fully executed.In addition, no other lot related complaints have been received from the field.It is therefore concluded that there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in field.There are adequate controls in place to ensure the device was manufactured to specifications.The device was not returned for evaluation and no images were provided.Based on the provided information an exact cause for this event cannot be established.However, it is noted that the device was placed via cubital insertion.According to the ifu attached the product is intended for percutaneous placement via a jugular vein for filtration of inferior vena cava (ivc) blood to prevent pe.Cook medical will continue to monitor for similar events.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
