As reported by the field, during a coil embolization, a 3 x 8 orbit galaxy xtrasoft coil (640cx0308, 30571051) failed to detach after deploying the coil into the aneurysm.After this, it was retracted again into the unspecified microcatheter.There were no surgery delays due to the reported event.The procedure was successfully completed.There was no patient injury reported.

Product complaint # (b)(4).A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Complaint conclusion: as reported by the field, during a coil embolization, a 3x8 orbit galaxy xtrasoft coil (640cx0308, 30571051) failed to detach after deploying the coil into the aneurysm.After this, it was retracted again into the unspecified microcatheter.There were no surgery delays due to the reported event.The procedure was successfully completed.There was no patient injury reported.No additional information is available.A non-sterile og cmplx xtrasoft coil 3x8 was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, a visual inspection was performed, and it was noted that the hypo-tube (delivery tube) was broken into two parts.No other damages were noted in the device components.The device was inspected under microscopic magnification, and the embolic coil was found to be in good normal conditions (i.E., no elongations, kinks, or non-concentric loops were noted) inside of the introducer, it was still attached to the gripper.Due to the broken condition noted on the hypo-tube, this was submitted to scanning electron microscope (sem) testing, and the images showed evidence of mechanical damage and stress marks on the hypo-tube.These damages could be related to the handling of the device during the procedure or excessive force.The condition found in the hypo-tube was not originally reported in the event, and the exact time when this condition occurred could not be determined; as such, there is no clear relationship between the hypo-tube breakage and the failure to detach the coil.Therefore, the hypo-tube breakage is not considered a contributing factor.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 30571051 number, and no non-conformances related to the malfunction were identified.Although the condition observed on the hypo-tube is not suspected to be the cause of the failure to detach, the embolic coil could not be advanced out of the introducer due to such damage; the issue documented that the embolic coil could not be detached cannot be evaluated through functional testing, and there is no other way to confirm the customer complaint with the evidence observed.Factors not described within the information provided may have contributed to the issue encountered (e.G., distal end of the microcatheter and delivery tube stressed during detachment).With the limited information available, a root cause cannot be assigned, and there is no indication that the issue reported in the complaint results from a defect inherently related to the device.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed, and no non-conformances related to the reported complaint condition were identified.It should be noted that product failure could be caused by multiple factors.The instructions for use (ifu) does contain the following recommendations: increase the pressure in the syringe by rotating the syringe knob clockwise until the gauge indicator enters position 3, green zone.Do not exceed position 3, green zone, as this could cause the syringe to lose calibration.If position 3, green zone, has been exceeded, do not reuse the syringe for additional coil detachments.Maintain the pressure in position 3, green zone for approximately 3 seconds.Rapidly decreasing pressure indicates that the coil has been detached; however, detachment must be confirmed under fluoroscopy.Coil detachment must be confirmed under fluoroscopy by releasing the second rhv and slowly retracting the delivery tube ensuring that the coil is not being retracted into the tip of the infusion catheter and that the delivery tube marker bands move away from the coil without resistance.Do not advance the marker bands of the delivery tube past the marker band of the infusion catheter.Advancing the marker bands of the delivery tube past the marker band of the infusion catheter results in forwarding movement of the tip of the delivery tube past the infusion catheter and risks damaging the vessel and displacing the coil.As part of the cerenovus quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended to identify statistical signals for consideration of further correction action.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
