Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unchanged, unknown, or unavailable.Investigation ¿ evaluation: clinique oceane se sas (france) informed cook on 28nov2022 of an event that occurred on 25nov2022 involving a retracta detachable embolization coil (rpn: mwcer-35-14-6; lot: 14270741).It was reported that the coils did not detach from the delivery wire.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), and quality control procedures for the device were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned; therefore, no physical examinations could be performed.However, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.In response to this incident, cook completed a review of the product device master record (dmr) and concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.Cook also reviewed the device history record (dhr).The dhr for lot 14270741 records no non-conformances.A database search for complaints on the reported lot found no additional complaints reported from the field.Cook reviewed product labeling.The current instructions for use [t_mwcer_rev5] state the following: "precautions: prior to introduction of the embolization coil, flush the angiographic catheter with saline.Instructions for use: 6.Under fluoroscopic visualization, slowly advance the delivery wire until the entire length of the coil exits the distal end of the catheter.Ensure that the junction remains positioned just inside the catheter tip.(fig.5) note: advancing the delivery wire slowly allows the junction to be seen more easily and reduces the risk of damaging it.Note: if significant resistance is encountered during coil advancement, do not continue advancing.Retract the delivery wire slightly, then gently re-advance it.If there is still significant resistance, withdraw the delivery wire from the catheter and try using a new coil with a shorter length.Note: do not turn the delivery wire counterclockwise during advancement; the coil may be unintentionally detached.7.Verify correct position of the coil fluoroscopically.If coil position or placement is not satisfactory, the coil may be retracted into the catheter and re-deployed so long as there is no significant resistance.Note: it may be possible to perform a test injection of contrast media using a tuohy-borst sidearm adaptor while the delivery wire is in the catheter.Note: if the size of the coil is not correct, gently remove the entire delivery wire and coil.Do not use the coil again.8.If the coil position is correct, use the torque device to turn the delivery wire counterclockwise 8-10 times, until coil detachment can be either felt or visualized under fluoroscopy.(fig 6) note: it is recommended that the junction remain just inside the tip of the catheter.The information provided upon review of dmr, ifu, and the dhr does not indicate the device was manufactured out of specification.There is no evidence of nonconforming material in house or in the field.Based on the information provided, no returned device, and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies contributed to this incident.It is possible that the junction zone was outside of the catheter at the time of deployment, not allowing the coil to deploy correctly, but this cannot be definitively confirmed.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.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.
