Event or Problem Description
|
|
A healthcare professional reported that during a coil embolization, an unspecified microcatheter was in place and an orbit galaxy coil (640cr0930, 31557208) was delivered to target site.The coil was filled in the aneurysm and tried to detach, but the coil was unable to detach.The doctor only retracted the coil alone and switched to a new one to complete the surgery.The microcatheter was not replaced.Additional event information received on 19-aug-2025 indicated that a pre-deployment electrical testing was performed.There was neck remodeling used with a stent.The coil was still attached to the coil delivery system when removed from the patient.The embolic coil did not stretch or became damaged when removed from the patient.There was no allegation of patient injury due to an alleged product issue.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturer ref#(b)(4) updated sections on this medwatch: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 and h11.Complaint conclusion: a healthcare professional reported that during a coil embolization, an unspecified microcatheter was in place and an orbit galaxy coil (640cr0930, 31557208) was delivered to target site.The coil was filled in the aneurysm and tried to detach, but the coil was unable to detach.The doctor only retracted the coil alone and switched to a new one to complete the surgery.The microcatheter was not replaced.Additional event information received on 19-aug-2025 indicated that a pre-deployment electrical testing was performed.There was neck remodeling used with a stent.The coil was still attached to the coil delivery system when removed from the patient.The embolic coil did not stretch or became damaged when removed from the patient.There was no allegation of patient injury due to an alleged product issue.The device was returned to j&j medtech for further evaluation.A non-sterile 9mm x 30cm orbit tdl complex frame coil was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, a visual inspection was performed, and no apparent damage was observed.The coil was noted to be still attached to the delivery system.The coil component was inspected under microscopic magnification; it was found that the proximal portion is severely stretched leaving the internal blue fiber exposed.The orbit galaxy was attached to a lab sample trufill dcs syringe, then the pressure was increased in the syringe by rotating the syringe knob clockwise until the gauge indicator reach the green zone, in approximately 3 seconds the pressure rapidly decreased indicating that the coil has been successfully detached.The functional test was performed successfully.Additionally, no damage was found on the orbit galaxy that could have contributed to the issue reported during the procedure.The customer complaint cannot be confirmed with the evidence available.It is possible that other clinical and procedural factors that cannot be replicated during the analysis may have contributed to the reported failure.Coil stretching is a known potential issue associated with the use of this device.The instructions for use (ifu) provide proper handling instructions for the device to prevent such issue from occurring.Stretching can occur during procedure handling where force may have been inadvertently applied.The stretched condition was not originally reported and may have occurred during the post operational handling of the device.This condition is not considered related to the reported issue.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device, and no non-conformances related to the malfunction were identified.As part of the j&j medtech quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Therefore, no capa activity is required.It should be noted that product failure could be caused by multiple factors.The instructions for use (ifu) does contain the following recommendations: ¿ coil detachment must be confirmed under fluoroscopy by releasing the second rhv and slowly retracting the delivery tube ensuring that the coil is not being retracted into the tip of the infusion catheter and that the delivery tube marker bands move away from the coil without resistance.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.
