As reported by the field, during a coil embolization, there was resistance while pushing the orbit galaxy xtrasoft coil (640cx2535, 30758099) in the unspecified microcatheter (mc).When the coil was removed, it was stretched.There was no patient injury reported.There was a five-minute procedural delay due to the event.The procedure was successfully completed.Additional event information was received on 13-jan-2024 indicating that the resistance was first felt inside the mid shaft of the prowler select lpes lot (606s155x, 31041133, lot unknown) microcatheter.Before the resistance, two coils had been used and after the encountered resistance, one coil was used.The event did result in a loss of cerebral target position.The mc was not damaged during manipulation of the coil or noticed to be damaged upon removal from the patient.There was nothing noted to be obstructing the microcatheter.A continuous flush on the microcatheter was maintained.The introducer was flushed until liquid was visible at the distal end of the slit in the clear tube.The tip of the introducer was firmly installed into the hub of the microcatheter and locked with the rhv during coil advancement.No excessive force was applied to the device.The physician did not feel that the procedural delay was clinically significant.

Product complaint #(b)(4).Complaint conclusion: as reported by the field, during a coil embolization, there was resistance while pushing the 2.5mm x 3.5cm orbit galaxy complex fill xtrasoft (640cx2535, 30758099) in the unspecified microcatheter (mc).When the coil was removed, it was stretched.There was no patient injury reported.There was a five-minute procedural delay due to the event.The procedure was successfully completed.Additional event information was received on 13-jan-2024 indicating that the resistance was first felt inside the mid shaft of the prowler select lpes lot (606s155x, 31041133, lot unknown) microcatheter.Before the resistance, two coils had been used and after the encountered resistance, one coil was used.The event did result in a loss of cerebral target position.The mc was not damaged during manipulation of the coil or noticed to be damaged upon removal from the patient.There was nothing noted to be obstructing the microcatheter.A continuous flush on the microcatheter was maintained.The introducer was flushed until liquid was visible at the distal end of the slit in the clear tube.The tip of the introducer was firmly installed into the hub of the microcatheter and locked with the rhv during coil advancement.No excessive force was applied to the device.The physician did not feel that the procedural delay was clinically significant.A non-sterile 2.5mm x 3.5cm orbit galaxy complex fill xtrasoft was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, a visual inspection was performed, and no apparent damage was observed.The coil component was inspected under microscopic magnification, it was found that the embolic coil is in good normal conditions (i.E., no elongations, kinks, or non-concentric loops were noted).A lab sample prowler select plus was flushed until the water was coming out from the distal end.Then, the orbit galaxy was introduced into the microcatheter, and it advanced; the orbit galaxy could be advanced until it came out from the distal tip of the microcatheter without noticeable resistance.The functional test was performed successfully with one sample prowler select plus, the device was able to pass through the entire length of the microcatheter without significant resistance.Additionally, no other damages were found on the orbit galaxy that could have contributed to the issue reported during the procedure.The customer complaint cannot be confirmed with the evidence available.It is possible that other clinical and procedural factors that cannot be replicated during the analysis may have contributed to the reported failure.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 30758099 number, and no non-conformances related to the malfunction were identified.As part of the cerenovus quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Therefore, no capa activity is required.It should be noted that product failure could be caused by multiple factors.The instructions for use (ifu) does contain the following recommendations: never advance, withdraw, or torque the delivery tube against resistance without first determining the cause of resistance under fluoroscopy.Manipulation of the delivery tube against resistance can cause damage and/or premature detachment of the coil.If unusual friction is noted within the infusion catheter, remove the detachable coil system.If friction is noted with any subsequent detachable coil system, carefully examine the detachable coil system and the infusion catheter for possible damage.Replace both if necessary.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.A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.
