Event or Problem Description
Patient allegedly received an implant on (b)(6) 2012 via the right common femoral vein due to post trauma.Patient is alleging vena cava perforation, device is unable to be retrieved, and was advise against it in 2020.Patient further alleges "was in a severe motorcycle accident on (b)(6) 2012 that left me in a coma therefore i have no memory of the ivc filter being implanted, was told my son at the time gave consent for it to be done." ptsd per xray report, "there is an indwelling inferior vena caval filter" per computed tomography report, "the vena cava filter has its proximal tip at approximately the l3 level below the renal veins in appropriate position.Its orientation exactly parallels the vena cava.Far inferiorly a few of the prongs anteriorly penetrate the vena cava wall into the fat.1 is adjacent to the common iliac artery on the right.".
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation: investigation is reopened due to additional information provided.The following allegations have been investigated: vena cava perforation, device is unable to be retrieved, ptsd.The reported allegations have been further investigated based on the information provided to date.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: vascular trauma, vena cava perforation, vena cava penetration.Physician practice guidelines and published guidance from regulatory agencies recommend that patients with indwelling filters undergo routine follow-up.The risks/benefits of filter retrieval should be considered for each patient during follow-up.Once protection from pe is no longer necessary, filter retrieval should be considered.Filter retrieval should be attempted when feasible and clinically indicated.Filter retrieval is a patient-specific, clinically complex decision; the decision to remove a filter should be based on each patient¿s individual risk/benefit profile (e.G., a patient¿s continued need for protection from pe compared to their experience with and (or) ongoing risk of experiencing filter-related complications).For all retrievable ivc filters, retrieval becomes more challenging with time, and this is commonly due to encapsulation of the filter legs or hook (in a tilted filter) by tissue ingrowth.The filter is designed to be retrieved with the günther tulip vena cava filter retrieval set.It may also be retrieved with the cloversnare® vascular retriever.Cook has not performed testing to evaluate the safety or effectiveness of filter retrieval using other retrieval systems or techniques.The published clinical literature includes descriptions of alternative techniques for filter retrieval; use of these techniques varies according to physician experience, patient anatomy, and filter position.The safety or effectiveness of these alternative retrieval techniques has not been established.Specific for ¿embedded¿ a filter that is embedded in the wall of the ivc may be difficult to retrieve.For all retrievable ivc filters, retrieval becomes more challenging with time, and this is commonly due to encapsulation of the filter legs or hook (in a tilted filter) by tissue ingrowth.Unknown if the reported post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) is directly related to the filter and unable to identify a corresponding failure mode at this point in time.20 devices in lot.No relevant notes on wo for neither device (igtcfs-65-1-fem-celect) lot: e2863132, nor filter (igtf-30-celect) lot: e2858025 and e2858516.No other complaints on lots.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.Cook will reopen its investigation if further information is received warranting supplementation in accordance with 21 c.F.R.803.56.This report includes information known at this time.A follow-up report will be submitted should additional relevant information become available.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
