Event or Problem Description
|
|
As reported by a health care professional, an enterprise2 4mmx16mm no tip vascular reconstruction device (encr401600, 9403134) became impeded in proximal end of a prowler select plus 150/5cm microcatheter (606s255x, lot unknown) and could not advance any more.The doctor removed the stent and microcatheter (mc) from the patient and switched to a new stent to complete the procedure with the same microcatheter.The surgery was prolonged about 20 minutes.There was no patient injury reported.

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 health care professional, an enterprise2 4mmx16mm no tip vascular reconstruction device (encr401600, 9403134) became impeded in proximal end of a prowler select plus 150/5cm microcatheter (606s255x, lot unknown) and could not advance any more.The doctor removed the stent and microcatheter (mc) from the patient and switched to a new stent to complete the procedure with the same microcatheter.The surgery was prolonged about 20 minutes.There was no patient injury reported.Additional event information received on 19-jun-2025 indicated that they were 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 did not result on a patient adverse consequence.A non-sterile enterprise2 4mmx16mm no tip vascular reconstruction device was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, a visual inspection was performed, and it was noted that the stent was already detached from the unit.The delivery wire and the introducer were in good condition (i.E., no kinks, bents, or elongations).The stent was inspected under a microscope, and no damages were found (i.E., no kinks, no bents, or broken struts).Both distal ends can be noted completely flared.The issue regarding a stent being impeded at proximal end of the microcatheter cannot be evaluated through functional testing.The stent must be inside the introducer tube to perform the functional analysis.Additionally, none of the returned components present damages that suggest that they were forcibly advanced.With the limited information available, a conclusive cause cannot be determined; however, it is possible that clinical and procedural factors, including device manipulation and operator's technique, may have contributed to the reported failure.At this time, there is no evidence to support that the issue reported in the complaint is a result of a defect inherently related to the device.The stent detachment was not originally reported in the complaint, therefore, the exact time when this condition occurred cannot be determined.This condition is not considered related to the reported issue.Lake region medical did review the device history records relative to the manufacturing, inspecting and packaging of the lot: 9403134.The history records indicate this product was final inspection tested at lake region medical and was determined to be acceptable.As part of the 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 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.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.
