This report is being submitted as part of remediation activities associated with capa 643143, addressing mdr reporting guidance from the fda¿s 1995 preamble, which ensures complaints related to corrections and recalls previously reported to the fda under 21 cfr 806 are now reported as mdrs; this is not a new malfunction/event.Product analysis: upon receipt of the suspect complaint delivery catheter system (dcs) at medtronic's quality laboratory, the dcs was received extremely coiled, in two plastic bags within in a small box without the actuator components or the carriage components.The guidewire was still within the dcs.The end cap/screw gear snap fit was connected.Visual analysis showed the handle; tip retrieval mechanism were not intact.The tip retrieval mechanism was bent to almost 90 degrees.Delamination was observed over the nitinol reinforcing frame along the mid-section to the proximal end of the capsule.During functional testing, the trigger did not move to either fully advanced or retracted positions.The guidewire was removed from the dcs and then the tip retrieval mechanism could be used to advance and retract the capsule.The inner member shaft and spindle hub appeared intact with no evidence of damage.Conclusion: the device history record was reviewed and showed this product met all manufacturing specifications for product released for distribution.No issues were identified that would have impacted this event.Potential factors that can influence dislodgement include tension applied on the dcs during positioning, calcification levels, and shape of the native anatomy.Dislodgement events do not typically indicate a device malfunction or a failure to meet manufacturing specifications.The cause of the reported dislodgement could not be conclusively determined.Delamination typically occurs when the capsule is subjected to a bending force potentially after tracking through anatomy or due to the coiled configuration it was returned in.The bend in the tip retrieval mechanism was not reported in the event description and therefore most likely occurred during return transport for analysis in an extremely coiled configuration.Actuator separation is typically associated with broken or damaged snap fit tabs on the component, either one tab or both, which hold the handle together.Without the components for analysis, the snap fit tabs could not be examined.The separation of the carriage components was most likely due to the actuator no longer securing the carriage components in place.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
Medtronic received information prior to the implant of a transcatheter bioprosthetic valve, the first valve was loaded into the first delivery catheter system (dcs) three separate times, two attempts by the hospital staff and one attempt by a medtronic representative.After each load, a misload was identified by both visual and fluoroscopic inspection.After the third attempted load, the physician requested a new valve.A second valve was loaded onto a second dcs and advanced through the patient's anatomy without issue.During the attempted deployment, while still loaded on the dcs, the valve dislodged aortic due to torque build up within the dcs.While recapturing the valve after it dislodged in the aortic arch, the blue actuator handle of the dcs separated into four pieces.The handle was unable to be reassembled.After discussion, the physician pulled the dcs back to the area just above the iliac bifurcation and was forced to deploy the valve.No further interventions were performed.The valve remains in the area above the bifurcation.During deployment of this valve into the area, a third valve and a third dcs were opened, but not loaded.The physician aborted the case without using the third system.No further adverse patient effects were reported.
