Event or Problem Description
Medtronic received a report that a concerto coil was stuck in the catheter and encountered resistance in the sheath.The product became stuck inside the catheter during the procedure and the coil did not advance; it was replaced with a new one, and the procedure was completed without complications.No patient symptoms or complications were associated with this event.Additional information was received that the coil reportedly became lodged inside the catheter and was removed with difficulty.The cause of the resistance was not determined.A continuous saline flush was administered and maintained as indicated in the ifu.The catheter was not a medtronic device.During preparation, the introducer sheath was held vertically when the implant coil was pulled back inside during hydration.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3: product analysis as found condition (condition of returned device): a concerto implant coil was returned for analysis within a shipping box; within a sealed tyvek biohazard pouch; and within opened concerto implant coil inner pouch.The concerto implant coil was returned within introducer sheath.The non-medtronic micro catheter used during the event was not returned.Visual inspection/damage location details: the introducer sheath was found correctly assembled on the pushwire with the wavelock at the proximal end.No bends or kinks were found with the concerto coil pushwire.The implant coil was found to be stretched and damaged within and extending from introducer sheath.The implant coil was unable to be pushed out further from introducer sheath for additional analysis as it was found to be stuck.No other anomalies were observed.Testing/analysis (including sem reports): the concerto coil tip od (outer diameter) was measured to be 0.0117¿ which is within speci fications.The id (inner diameter) of the introducer sheath was measured to be 0.0190¿ which is within specifications.Conclusion: based on the device analysis and the reported information, the customer¿s report of ¿coil resistance/stuck in sheath¿ was confirmed.However, the root cause could not be determined.There were no reported issues pushing the concerto coil out from within its introducer sheath during preparation.Therefore, it is possible that the implant coil became damaged during return of the implant coil back into the introducer sheath.It is possible insufficient preparation of the concerto coil, damage during preparation or improper hubbing technique (over tightening of the rhv) could have contributed to the event.Based on the device analysis and the reported information, the customers report of ¿coil resistance/stuck in cath¿ was unable to be confirmed.Possible causes for coil resistance in catheter are, but not limited to, use of an incompatible device for delivery, severely tortuous patient anatomy, failure to hydrate the concerto coil prior to use, and lack of continuous flush during delivery.The model or lot number for the unknown catheter were not provided; therefore, compatibility could not be assessed.The root cause could not be determined.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide 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, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
