Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Manufacturer ref# (b)(4).Summary of investigational findings: the celect-pt filter was misfired/misplaced during placement from femoral approach.After an unsuccessful retrieval attempt by unknown snare another attempt will be made within the next few weeks.The device was not returned and no imaging could be obtained.Therefore, based on the information provided only it would be inappropriate to speculate at what may or may not have caused the filter to ¿misfire¿ and consequently to be placed in an incorrect position.The instructions for use specify step-by-step how to verify correct filter placement inside the introducer sheath at the radiopaque band before withdrawing the sheath and releasing the filter by unlocking the system and pressing the release button.Therefore, it is suggested that the filter was inadvertently released before verifying correct filter placement.There are adequate controls in place to ensure the device was manufactured to specifications.It is assessed that because no non-conformances were detected 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 non-conforming product exists in house or in field.Cook medical will continue to monitor for similar events.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr 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.
