Investigation ¿ evaluation: it was reported that a 'mreye embolization coil' separated during an embolization procedure in the fundus of stomach.Other coils were deployed immediately to complete the procedure.There were no adverse effects reported to the patient due to this occurrence.Reviews of documentation including 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.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the dhr for the reported complaint device lot and related subassembly lot revealed no recorded non-conformances relevant to the failure mode.A complaint history search did not identify any other events associated with the reported device lot.Based on the available information, cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to specification and that there is no evidence suggesting nonconforming product exists either in house or in the field.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The current instructions for use [t_ce_imwce_rev6] state the following: "warnings: if difficulties occur when deploying the embolization coil, withdraw the wire guide, coil and angiographic catheter simultaneously as a unit.How supplied: upon removal from package inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred." 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.It is possible that the luer lock adapter was not fully tightened onto the hub of the delivery catheter, allowing the coil to slightly bunch up as it transitioned into the catheter and possibly damaging it.However, this could not be definitively confirmed.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.
