Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturer ref#: (b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to report the findings of the device investigation.The embolic coil is stretched, meeting regulatory reporting criteria.Information regarding patient weight, height, medical history, race, and ethnicity was not reported.Section d2b ¿ procode: krd/hcg.Section e1.Initial reporter phone: (b)(6).The device was returned to j&j medtech for further evaluation.A non-sterile orbit galaxy coil 9mm x 25cm was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, a visual inspection was performed, and the coil was noted to be inside the introducer.The device was inspected under microscopic magnification, and the coil was found severely stretched leaving the internal blue fiber exposed, however, it was still attached to the gripper.The issue documented in the complaint that there was an impeded condition felt during the advancement of the coil through the microcatheter could not be evaluated through proper functional test since the stretched condition found on the coil prevented the ability to move the coil through the introducer.The coil stretching was not originally reported in the complaint.Such damage suggest that excessive force was inadvertently applied during the attempts to withdraw and re-insert the device.It is possible that clinical and procedural factors, including device manipulation and operator's technique, may have contributed to the reported failure.According to the risk documentation, coil damage is a potential issue that can occur during microcoil placement due to excessive system manipulation, which can result in coil stretching.Based on this, the customer complaint was confirmed.Also, risk documentation states that a delivery tube / embolic coil that cannot be pushed through the microcatheter is a potential issue that can occur during coil placement due to: 1) excessively tortuous anatomy; or 2) clot formation in the microcatheter.With the limited information available, the root cause remains speculative, however, there is no indication that the issues encountered during the procedure are a result of a defect inherently related to the device.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 31342740 number, and no non-conformances related to the malfunction were identified.As part of 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 proposed at this time.It should be noted that product failure is multifactorial.The instructions for use contain the following precautions and warnings: ¿ if unusual friction is still noticed during advancement or retraction of the microcoil system, verify flush lines are open and properly pressurized.Then, slowly withdraw the entire microcoil system and examine for damage.Replace it with a new microcoil system.If friction still exists, withdraw and examine the delivery catheter system.¿ during coil retraction, verify under fluoroscopy that a one-to-one relationship exists between the delivery tube and the coil.If not, the coil has been stretched, which could lead to premature detachment or coil fracture.If the one-to-one relationship does not exist, remove the infusion catheter and the detachable coil as an assembly and replace.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.Missing information from this report is identified as blank; this information was not provided in the reported event or available at the time of report submission.This report is being submitted pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803 (and/or part 4, as applicable).This report may be based on information which has not been investigated or verified prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by cerenovus, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the product, cerenovus, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial report, a follow-up report will be filed as appropriate.
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that during a coil embolization, a 9x25 orbit galaxy coil 9x25 (640cf0925, 31342740) was impeded in distal end of microcatheter (other brand) and could not pass through the microcatheter.The doctor removed the coil and microcatheter from the patient and switched to new coil and a new microcatheter to complete the surgery.There was no patient injury reported.No additional information is available.Based on the product analysis of the device received, the embolic coil is stretched.
