Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturers ref# (b)(4).Summary of investigational findings: the celect-pt filter was placed as a precaution for pulmonary embolism.During placement the filter legs did not expand and the filter tipped where intended to deploy.Attempts to move and realign the filter were unsuccessful, however the filter tip was pointing in the vena cava wall, why the filter was left in place and a second filter was placed below.Reportedly, the physician believes the filter is firmly affixed.The patient is doing well.Based on the information provided only it would be inappropriate to speculate at what may or may have not prevented the filter legs from expanding during deployment and following caused the filter to tilt.The instructions for use supplied with the device specify step-by-step how to place the sheath/jugular introducer system and withdraw the introducer sheath and the protection sheath to expand the filter before releasing it by pressing the release button.Also, the ifu warn not to rotate the expanded filter inside the vena cava, as doing so may compromise the performance of the filter.There are adequate controls in place to ensure the device was manufactured to specifications.It is assessed that because any discovered non-conformances were properly dispositioned before release, there is evidence that the device was manufactured in compliance with procedures and according to specifications.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.
