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 4mmx16mm no tip vascular reconstruction device in distal end of a prowler select plus 150/5cm microcatheter (b)(6) and could not pass through the microcatheter.The doctor removed the stent and microcatheter from the patient and switched to a new stent to complete the procedure with the original microcatheter.The surgery was prolonged by about 10 minutes.There was no patient injury reported.Additional information received indicated that they were able to torque the device.There was no evidence of physical material within the device.The microcatheter was not kink/bent.No excessive force was used with the devices, and the 10 minute prolongation dud not result in patient adverse consequence.The device was returned to j&j medtech for further evaluation.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 delivery wire.No appearance of damages 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.A device history record (dhr) was performed and it indicated this product was final inspection tested at lake region medical and was determined to be acceptable.The issue regarding a stent being impeded at distal end of the microcatheter cannot be evaluated through functional testing.The stent must be inside the introducer tube to perform the functional analysis.Additionally, the returned component did not present damages that suggested that it was 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.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.
