Event or Problem Description
|
|
A health care professional reported that during the endovascular embolization, a 4.5x28mm 12 mm dw tip enterprise vascular reconstruction device (enc452812, 8640237) impeded in proximal of the prowler select plus 150/5cm microcatheter (606s255x, lot unknown) and could not advance any more.The doctor tried to retract the stent, the stent was half released automatically in y connector and the stent was found detached from the delivery wire in the y connector.The doctor removed the microcatheter (mc) and stent from the patient and switched new devices to complete the surgery.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Manufacturer ref# (b)(4).Updated sections on this medwatch: b4, d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 and h11.Complaint conclusion: a health care professional reported that during the endovascular embolization, a 4.5x28mm 12 mm dw tip enterprise vascular reconstruction device ((b)(6), 8640237) impeded in proximal of the prowler select plus 150/5cm microcatheter (606s255x, lot unknown) and could not advance any more.The doctor tried to retract the stent; the stent was half released automatically in y connector and the stent was found detached from the delivery wire in the y connector.The doctor removed the microcatheter (mc) and stent from the patient and switched new devices to complete the surgery.Additional event information received on 21-jul-2025 indicated that the microcatheter did not kink/bent.There was no excessive force used with the devices.The device was returned to j&j medtech for further evaluation.A non-sterile 4.5x28mm 12 mm dw tip enterprise was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, visual inspection was performed, and the stent was found detached inside of the involved microcatheter [ip-02451136].No appearance of damages was observed.The delivery wire and the introducer components were returned in good condition.The stent was removed without difficulties.The stent was inspected under a microscope, and no damage was found (i.E., no kinks, no bents, or broken struts).Both distal ends can be noted completely flared.The issue documented in the complaint regarding the stent being impeded in the proximal end of the microcatheter could not be evaluated through functional test since the stent became detached during the procedure; however, this condition suggests that the enterprise introducer was not fully seated in the hub of the microcatheter, causing the stent to expand in the microcatheter's hub, causing the resistance and resulting in the stent component being unable to advance further, where push/pull force was applied sufficiently to disengage the stent from the delivery wire.It is possible that clinical and procedural factors, including device manipulation, may have contributed to the reported failure.There is no indication that the issues reported in the complaint result from a defect inherently related to the device.Based on this, the customer complaint was confirmed.Lake region medical reviewed the device history records relative to the manufacturing, inspecting and packaging of the lot 8640237.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 at this time.It should be noted that multiple factors could cause product failure.The instructions for use (ifu) do contain the following recommendations: ¿ the introducer must be properly engaged with the infusion catheter hub to enable stent introduction into the infusion catheter.¿ do not apply undue force if resistance is encountered at any point during stent manipulation.Withdraw the unit and advance to a new one.¿ if resistance is felt while recapturing the stent, do not continue to recapture the device.Withdraw the infusion catheter slightly to unsheathe the stent (without exceeding the recapture limit), and then attempt to recapture the stent again.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.
