As reported by the field, during an endovascular embolization, an eu 4.5x28mm stent 12 mm dw tip intracranial stent (enc452812, 8546184) became impeded in introducer and could not be pushed into microcatheter.The physician removed the stent and the prowler select plus 150/5cm microcatheter (606s255x, 31211760) from the patient and switched to new devices to complete the procedure.The surgery was prolonged about 10 minutes.No patient injury was reported.Additional event information was received on 08-nov-2024 indicating that they were not able to torque the device.There was no evidence of physical material within the device.The microcatheter did not kink/bent.There was no excessive force used with the devices.The 10 minutes procedural delay was not clinically significant.

Product complaint # (b)(4).Updated sections on this med watch report: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 and h11.Based on further review of the event description, the delivery wire was impeded in introducer.The event does not meet us regulatory reporting criteria.A non-sterile eu 4.5x28mm stent 12 mm dw tip intracranial stent was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, visual inspection was performed, and the distal end of the delivery wire was partially out of the proximal end of the introducer; however, no damages were observed.A functional test was attempted; however, the stent could not be advanced nor retracted from the introducer.Microscopic inspection was performed, and the stent was found disengaged from the delivery wire at the distal end.The distal inner diameter (id) and outer diameter (od) of the introducer were measured and found within specifications.A device history record (dhr) was performed, and it indicated this product was final inspection tested at lake region medical and was determined to be acceptable.The issue reported regarding the stent being impeded in the introducer was confirmed based on the findings mentioned above.With the limited information available and the evidence obtained from the device inspection, there is no clear insight into the root cause and/or exact contributing factors that may have resulted in the observed failure mode.The disengaged condition of the stent suggest that it was inadvertently moved during the attempts to advance or retract the stent from the introducer.There is no indication that the issue reported in the complaint is a result of a defect inherently related to the device.As part of j&j medtech quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no capa activity is required.It should be noted that product failure could be caused by multiple factors.The instructions for use (ifu) do contain the following caution and recommendations: ¿ if resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of resistance before proceeding.¿ do not apply undue force if resistance is encountered at any point during stent manipulation.Withdraw the unit and advance a new one.
