Event or Problem Description
|
|
A healthcare professional reported that during an endovascular embolization, an enterprise2 4mmx23mm vascular reconstruction device (encr402312, 9426817) was impeded in distal end of a non j&j microcatheter and could not pass through the microcatheter (mc).The doctor removed the microcatheter and stent from the patient, the stent was found detached from the delivery wire in the microcatheter.The doctor switched new devices to complete the surgery.There was no patient injury reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturer ref# (b)(4).Updated sections on this medwatch: b4, d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 and h11.Complaint conclusion: a healthcare professional reported that during an endovascular embolization, an enterprise2 4mmx23mm vascular reconstruction device (encr402312, 9426817) was impeded in distal end of a non j&j microcatheter and could not pass through the microcatheter (mc).The doctor removed the microcatheter and stent from the patient, the stent was found detached from the delivery wire in the microcatheter.The doctor switched new devices to complete the surgery.There was no patient injury reported.Additional event information received on 09-jul-2025 indicated 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.There was no procedure prolongation/delay due to the event.The device was returned to j&j medtech for further evaluation.A non-sterile enterprise2 4mmx23mm vascular reconstruction device was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, visual inspection was performed, and the stent component was already detached from the delivery system.No appearance of damage was observed.A microscopic inspection was performed on the stent component.It was observed to be in good condition; there was no structural damage (i.E., no broken struts, no kinks); also, it was noted fully expanded, both ends can be noted as completely flared.The delivery wire was subjected to dimensional analysis and all measurements were found to be within specification, including those specifications that control the attachment and delivery of the stent.Therefore, device failure is not suspected to be a contributing factor.A device history record (dhr) was performed, and it indicated this product was final inspection tested at (b)(6) medical and was determined to be acceptable.Although the stent detached prevented proper testing for the impeded condition reported, the customer complaint is confirmed based on the findings mentioned above.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.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: ¿ do not partially deploy the stent from the introducer.¿ do not apply undue force if resistance is encountered at any point during stent manipulation.Withdraw the unit and advance a new one.¿ confirm the tip of the delivery wire is entirely within the introducer.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.
