As reported through the rage clinical study: below event was reviewed by independent reviewer (cea) and was determined to be definitely related to study device and probably related to study procedure.Event information: event term: aneurysm recurrence event #: 2 event start date: 20/feb/2020 post operative days: 211 days event description : recurrence originally found 2/20/2020.During a consult on 1/15/2021 subject discussed recurrence and wanting treatment.Subject had a 1.6 x 1.4 mm recurrence at the base of this aneurysm.Per treating physician the recurrence had a very low risk of rupture.However, the patient reports debilitating anxiety about future aneurysm-related events that culminated in an inpatient hospitalization last month following a suicide attempt.Despite the low natural history risk of the recurrent aneurysm, subject expressed they could not handle the thought of going through another aneurysm rupture, and that taking the risk of aneurysm rupture to zero would dramatically improve anxiety.Embolization performed on (b)(6) 2021.Follow up angiogram on 10/8/2021 showed complete occlusion with no recurrence.Ae outcome : resolved without sequelae devices used: hydrosoft 3d 7110-0310-3d-a2, lot 1812125w6, size 3x4 hydrosoft 3d unknown model, lot 1806191w9, size 2x2 hydrosoft 3d unknown model, lot 161108w9, 1.5x2.As it cannot be determined which coil device may have impacted the aneurysm recurrence, hydrosoft 3d, model 7110-0310-3d-a2, lot 1812125w6 was chosen as a default.The other coils used in the procedure will be listed as concomitant devices.

Visual analysis: a visual inspection of the device captured in this file could not be performed as a physical device was not returned for evaluation, nor were any images of the device provided in place of a device return.Procedure and medical imaging was not provided for this investigation.Investigation findings: without the return and physical evaluation of the device, the investigation cannot definitively determine if a condition existed that would have caused or contributed to the reported event.Without imaging, the investigation cannot verify the event occurred as described, nor could the investigation definitively determine the cause of the reported event.Based on a review of the device's risk documentation, the reported event did not indicate there were any potential or new manufacturing, design, quality, or other systemic issues, or non-conformances.The complaint code is monitored through the trending process; corrective action is determined, as needed, through this process.Investigations of historic complaint files with similar complaint category coding are recorded in the complaint handling system; without the ability to perform an analysis of the device, this investigation cannot identify with certainty any potential root causes.Batch review: a search for non-conformances associated with this part/lot number combination did not reveal any production-related issues relevant to the complaint that occurred during manufacturing of the device.Complaint system review: there are no similar complaints based on the complaint category regarding this batch number from the last two years recorded in the complaint system at the time of this investigation.Ifu review (additional information can be found in the ifu): potential complications potential complications include, but are not limited to: hematoma at the site of entry, vessel perforation, aneurysm rupture, parent artery occlusion, incomplete aneurysm filling, emboli, hemorrhage, ischemia, vasospasm, coil migration or misplacement, premature or difficult coil detachment, clot formation, revascularization, post-embolization syndrome, and neurological deficits including stroke and possibly death.Cases of chemical aseptic meningitis, edema, hydrocephalus and/or headaches have been associated with the use of embolization coils in the treatment of large and giant aneurysms.The physician should be aware of these complications and instruct patients when indicated.Appropriate patient management should be considered.Warnings and precautions · the hes is intended for single use only.Do not resterilize and/or reuse the device.After use, dispose in accordance with hospital, administrative and/or local government policy.Do not use if the packaging is breached or damaged.· if a coil must be retrieved from the vasculature after detachment, do not attempt to withdraw the coil with a retrieval device, such as a snare, into the delivery catheter.This could damage the coil and result in device separation.Remove the coil, microcatheter, and any retrieval device from the vasculature simultaneously.Detachment of the hes coil 33.When the v grip® detachment controller is properly connected to the v trak® delivery pusher, a single audible tone will sound and the light will turn green to signal that it is ready to detach the coil.If the detachment button is not pushed within 30 seconds, the solid green light will slowly flash green.Both flashing green and solid green lights indicate that the device is ready to detach.If the green light does not appear, check to ensure that the connection has been made.If the connection is correct and no green light appears, replace the v grip® detachment controller.35.Push the detachment button.When the button is pushed, an audible tone will sound and the light will flash green.36.At the end of the detachment cycle, three audible tones will sound and the light will flash yellow three times.This indicates that the detachment cycle is complete.If the coil does not detach during the detachment cycle, leave the v grip® detachment controller attached to the v trak® delivery pusher and attempt another detachment cycle when the light turns green.37.The light will turn red after the number of detachment cycles specified on the v grip® labeling.Do not use the v grip® detachment controller if the light is red.Discard the v grip® detachment controller and replace it with a new one when the light is red.38.Verify detachment of the coil by first loosening the rhv valve, then pulling back slowly on the delivery system and verifying that there is no coil movement.If the implant did not detach, do not attempt to detach it more than two additional times.If it does not detach after the third attempt, remove the delivery system.Investigation conclusion: the physical device was not available for evaluation to determine if a condition existed that would have caused or contributed to event.Supplemental imaging was also unavailable for review; without imaging, the investigation cannot verify the event occurred as described, nor could the investigation definitively determine the cause of the reported event.This information may be updated if additional information is provided at a later date.
