Event or Problem Description
As reported by a healthcare professional, during a coil embolization of the left middle cerebral artery (mca), a freeform xsft 6mm x 10 cm coil (xcr120610, 31173119) failed to detach.A mechanical detachment handle (mdh1, 102109430) failed.The coil was removed without incident.Replaced with a cerepak ff xsft 4x10 coil.There was no patient injury reported.Additional event information received on 29-apr-2025 indicated that a sl-10 microcatheter (mc) was used.Two coils were previously implanted.The microcatheter was re positioned.The coil was being placed in a tight area with some microcatheter kick back.There was no problem with advancement in the microcatheter.Two attempts were made using the detachment handle.There was no visible damage to the embolic coil.The vessel was not excessively tortuous or with acute bends.The physician mentioned that the force used to get the coil into place along with the microcatheter kick back could have been a factor in the failure to detach.The procedure was delayed by 3 to 4 minutes, with no clinical significance.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturer ref#: (b)(4).Updated sections on this medwatch: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 and h11.Complaint conclusion: as reported by a healthcare professional, during a coil embolization of the left middle cerebral artery (mca), a freeform xsft 6mm x 10 cm coil (xcr120610, 31173119) failed to detach.A mechanical detachment handle (mdh1, 102109430) failed.The coil was removed without incident.Replaced with a cerepak ff xsft 4x10 coil.There was no patient injury reported.Additional event information received on 29-apr-2025 indicated that a sl-10 microcatheter (mc) was used.Two coils were previously implanted.The microcatheter was re positioned.The coil was being placed in a tight area with some microcatheter kick back.There was no problem with advancement in the microcatheter.Two attempts were made using the detachment handle.There was no visible damage to the embolic coil.The vessel was not excessively tortuous or with acute bends.The physician mentioned that the force used to get the coil into place along with the microcatheter kick back could have been a factor in the failure to detach.The procedure was delayed by 3 to 4 minutes, with no clinical significance.The device was returned to j&j medtech for further evaluation.A non-sterile mechanical detachment handle was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, visual inspection was performed, and no appearance of damages was observed.The slider was easily translated when activated, and audibly click was heard upon completion of actuation, and the slider automatically recovered to the starting position after actuation.There was an audibly click heard upon completion of reset.A 0.0133-inch lab-sample guidewire was easily inserted inside the nose cone.There were no visible blockage or damage that could cause resistance, and the guidewire was noted to travel 15mm.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 102109430 number, and no non-conformances related to the malfunction were identified.No malfunction issues were identified with the use of the detachment handle; therefore, the failure to detach the concomitant embolic coil due to a faulty detachment handle cannot be confirmed.There may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the analysis.As part of johnson & johnson medtech quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Since no issues were identified, no capa activity is required.The instructions for use (ifu) contain the following recommendations: 1.Remove the detacher from the protective packaging and place it within the sterile field.The detacher is packaged separately for single patient use only.2.Confirm again under fluoroscopy that the coil alignment marker of the delivery tube creates a ¿t¿ with the proximal marker of the microcatheter.3.Verify that the rhv is firmly locked around the delivery tube to ensure that the coil does not move during connection process.Ensure the delivery tube is straight between the rhv and the detacher.4.Hold the delivery tube approximately 3 inches from proximal end and bring the detacher over the delivery tube until a firm stop is felt.5.Maintain the delivery tube position within the detacher and use a thumb to pull back the slider on the detacher.6.Continue to pull on the slider until end of travel or a click is heard.Gently release the slider until it returns to starting position or a second click is heard.Remove detacher by slowly withdrawing it from the delivery tube.Note: detacher must remain in sterile field until the procedure is completed.7.Fluoroscopically verify that the coil is detached by gently pulling back the delivery tube approximately 1cm.If the coil has detached, remove the delivery tube from the microcatheter.8.If the coil has not detached, repeat steps 3-7.If 2 unsuccessful detachments occur, discard the detacher and proceed to the manual break section.9.Repeat steps 1-8 until the procedure is completed.Discard the detacher.Caution: always perform fluoroscopic verification of detachment prior to withdrawing the delivery system fully.Failure to do so may lead to an embolic complication.10.After detaching the coil, remove the delivery tube from the microcatheter and discard.11.Repeat the above sequence for all additional coils until the procedure is complete.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended to identify statistical signals for consideration of further correction action.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.
