Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Manufacturers ref# (b)(4).Summary of investigational findings: sheath with loaded filter placed in suprarenal ivc from femoral access and due to pain it could not be pulled to infrarenal location.The filter was deployed in suprarenal location and retrieved from jugular approach.Another filter was successfully placed without difficulty.A celect-pt filter, the dilator, and the blue introducer sheath with a non-cook dilator inside were returned.No non-conformances were noted on any component, but as reported, some blood/biological matter was observed on the filter hook and the hook was slightly out of specifications, likely from removal by jugular approach.Based on these findings the exact reason, why the sheath with the filter could not be repositioned from suprarenal to infrarenal location cannot be determined, but the reported pain may have been caused by the filter hook being slightly exposed, thus catching a side-branch when ¿pulled down¿.However, it is not reported, why the sheath with the loaded filter needed repositioning.The instructions for use supplied with the device specify how to verify the position of the introducer sheath tip by diagnostic imaging before removing the introducer dilator from the sheath and placing the preloaded filter in the sheath hub for advancement.There are adequate controls in place to ensure that the device was manufactured to specifications.It was assessed that because no non-conformances were detected, there is evidence that the dhr was fully executed.In addition, no other lot related complaints have been received from the field.It is therefore concluded that there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in field.Cook medical will continue to monitor for similar events.This report is required by the fda under 21cfr 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.
