Based on a review of the device¿s risk documentation, the reported event did not indicate the presence of any potential or new manufacturing, design, quality, or other systemic issues, or non-conformances.The complaint code is monitored through the trending process; corrective action is determined, as needed, through this process.Investigations of historic complaint files with similar complaint category coding are recorded in the complaint handling system; without the ability to perform an analysis of the device, this investigation cannot further evaluate any potential root causes.Batch review: a search for non-conformances associated with this part/lot number combination did not reveal any production-related issues relevant to the complaint that occurred during manufacturing of the device.Complaint system review: there are no similar complaints based on the complaint category regarding this batch number from the last two years recorded in the complaint system at the time of this investigation.Ifu review (additional information can be found in the ifu): potential complications potential complications include but are not limited to the following: vessel puncture site hematoma, aneurysm perforation or rupture, hemorrhage, edema, thromboemboli, transient ischemic attack, ischemic stroke, neurologic deficits, parent artery occlusion, ischemia, vessel dissection or perforation, vascular thrombosis, vasospasm, device migration or misplacement, premature detachment, headache, post-embolization syndrome, infection and death.Warnings: advance and retract the web embolization device slowly.Do not advance the delivery device with excessive force.Determine the cause of any unusual resistance.Remove the web embolization device if excessive friction is noted and check for damage.Do not rotate the delivery device during or after delivery of the web embolization device.Rotating the web embolization device may result in damage or premature detachment.The web embolization device cannot be detached with any other power source other than a web detachment control device.Ensure that at least two web detachment control devices are available before initiating an embolization procedure - instructions for use detachment of the web embolization device 34.The detachment control device is pre-loaded with batteries and will activate when the delivery device is properly connected.35.Verify that the rhv is firmly locked around the delivery device before attaching the detachment control device to ensure that the web embolization device does not move during the connection process.36.Ensure that the delivery device gold connectors are clean and free from blood or contrast.If necessary, wipe the connectors with sterile water and dry before connecting.37.Insert the proximal end of the delivery device into the detachment control device.When the delivery device is properly connected, the light will flash green and an intermittent tone will be heard.38.Verify the web embolization device position before pressing the detachment button.39.Push the detachment button.During firing, the light should be solid green and the beep should be continuous.40.Verify detachment by first loosening the rhv valve, then pulling back slowly on the delivery device and verifying that there is not web embolization device movement.If the web embolization device does not detach, push the detachment button again.If the web embolization device is still not detached, obtain a new detachment control device and attempt detachment up to two additional times.If it does not detach, remove the delivery device.41.Verify the position of the web embolization device angiographically through the guide catheter.42.Prior to removing the microcatheter from the treatment site, place an appropriately sized guidewire completely through the microcatheter lumen to ensure that no part of the web embolization device remains within the microcatheter.The physical device was not available for evaluation to investigate if a condition existed that would have contributed to the reported event.Supplemental imaging was also not provided for review; without imaging, the investigation cannot verify if the event occurred as described, nor could the investigation further examine the cause of the reported event.Microvention is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by microvention, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Microvention has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided 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, microvention, or its employees that the device, microvention, or its employees caused or contributed to the event described in the report.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

It was reported to microvention that the physician was performing an embolization of a paraopthalmic aneurysm with a web, which is an off-label use.Reportedly, prior to the deployment of web, the aneurysm ruptured when the patient coughed under sedation, which reportedly caused the system of delivery catheters to move.The physician then went to deploy the web in the aneurysm but the web reportedly did not detach.The physician pressed the via back up to the proximal end of the web to brace the device.Upon bracing the via, the web reportedly detached and came to rest in the parent vessel.The physician used various techniques including a snare, strentriver, and suction through a.071 catheter to try and retrieve the web.All attempts reportedly failed, and the physician decided to end the procedure.The patient passed away the following day.This device was used in the same case as the via catheter submitted under a separate mdr.
