Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unchanged, unknown, or unavailable.Investigation ¿ evaluation a physician from az.U.S.L.Di bologna (italy) informed cook on 06apr2023 of an event that occurred on 05apr2023 involving a retracta detachable embolization coil (rpn: mwcer-35-7-8; lot #: 15248803).It was reported that when the user attempted to deploy the coil, it did not detach.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 15248803 and component lot records no relevant non-conformances.A database search for complaints on the reported lot found no additional complaints reported from the field.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The current instructions for use [t_mwcer_rev5] state the following: "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.Note: advancing the delivery wire slowly allows the junction to be seen more easily and reduces the risk of damaging it.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." the information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, and ifu suggests that the device was not manufactured out of specification, and that there are no nonconforming devices in house or out in the field.Based on the information provided, no device return, and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies contributed to this incident.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.
