Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown or unavailable.Reporter occupation: non-healthcare professional.Investigationthe following allegations have been investigated: vena cava perforation.The reported allegations have been 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.Catalog number and lot number are unknown; however, the alleged filter is manufactured and inspected according to controls.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 medwatch report will be submitted if additional relevant information becomes available.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.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.The following fields were updated per additional information received: b5, b6, h6.Investigation: the following allegations have been investigated: fracture, embedded, chronic thrombus/occlusion/stenosis, migration, tilt, bent.Investigation is reopened due to additional information provided.The reported allegations have been further investigated based on the information provided to date.Filter fracture has been reported and may be either symptomatic or asymptomatic.Fracture of a filter leg may be due to repetitive motion on a filter leg in an unusual, stressed position, such as a filter leg penetrating/perforating the ivc; or a filter leg being caught in a side branch (e.G., a renal vein).Other potential causes of filter fracture may include excessive force or manipulations near an implanted filter (e.G., a surgical or endovascular procedure in the vicinity of a filter).Retrieval of a fractured filter or filter fragments (including embolized fragments) using endovascular techniques has been reported.Potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: filter fracture, filter or filter fragment embolization, trauma to adjacent structures.The additional information regarding embedment does not change the previous investigation results for vena cava perforation.Ivc occlusion/ thrombosis, new dvt, ivc stenosis as a reported complication, is a known risk in relation to filter implant and is well documented in the clinical literature and in clinical practice guidelines.This is supported by the clinical evidence report established to assess available clinical data to identify and evaluate the clinical safety and performance of the cook vena cava filters.Potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: vena cava occlusion or thrombosis, vena cava stenosis, deep vein thrombosis.Filter or filter fragment migration and (or) embolization (e.G., movement to the heart or lungs) has been reported.Filter or filter fragment movement has occurred in both the cranial and caudal direction and may be either symptomatic or asymptomatic.Potential causes may include filter placement in ivcs with diameters smaller or larger than those specified in these instructions for use; improper deployment; deployment into thrombus; dislodgement due to large thrombus burdens; 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: filter migration, trauma to adjacent structures.Filter tilt has been reported.Potential causes may include filter placement in ivcs with diameters larger than those specified in these instructions for use; improper deployment; manipulations near an implanted filter (e.G., a surgical or endovascular procedure in the vicinity of a filter); and (or) a failed retrieval attempt.Excessive filter tilt may contribute to difficult or failed retrieval; vena cava wall penetration/perforation; and (or) result in loss of filter efficiency.Potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: unacceptable filter tilt.Unknown if the reported bent is directly related to the filter and unable to identify a corresponding failure mode at this point in time.Catalog number and lot number are unknown; however, the alleged filter is manufactured and inspected according to controls.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 medwatch report will be submitted if additional relevant information becomes available.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.
Event or Problem Description
19dec2020, per a report from computed tomography; ¿cook celect filter.Caval perforation: yes.8 o'clock 7.0 mm grade 2.9 o'clock 6.3 mm grade 2.Tilt: no.Migration: yes.Superior struts of the caval filter extend superior to the renal veins.Additional findings: note that there is an infrarenal caval graft, caval filter is partially within the graft and partially superior to the graft.There is discontinuity of the graft with multiple fractured fragments within the graft.Radiopaque material seen within the graft consistent with chronic thrombus.¿.
