Event or Problem Description
|
|
The healthcare professional reported that during a coil embolization, a 12x30 orbit galaxy coil (product code 640cf1230, lot number 31613399) 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 a new one to complete the surgery.The non j&j microcatheter (mc) was not replaced.Additional event information received on 15-jan-2026 indicated that the syringe used was a johnson & johnson product.The same syringe was used to detach subsequent coils.The same syringe was previously exceeded the green zone/position 3.After the coil did not detach at the syringe green zone, it was attempted to deploy the coil at the syringe red alternative detachment zone.Prior to attempting to detach, it was verified under fluoro that there was no stress against the microcatheter or delivery tube.The syringe pressurized as intended.Neck remodeling was utilized with a stent.The coil was still attached to the coil delivery system when removed from the patient.There were no procedure delays/prolongation due to the event.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturer ref# (b)(4).Updated sections on this medwatch: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 and h11.The device was returned to j&j medtech for further evaluation.A non-sterile 12x30 orbit galaxy coil was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, a visual inspection was performed, and one kinked condition was found on the hypo-tube at 35cm from the proximal end.The coil was noted to be no longer attached to the delivery system.Microscopic inspection revealed that the gripper was elongated.No other damages were noted.The customer complaint related to the coil being unable to be detached cannot be evaluated though a functional test since the device was returned without the coil component.Coil detachment could have appeared during the post-operational handling of the device since it was reported to be still attached when it was removed from patient.If additional information or components are received at a later time, this investigation will be reassessed accordingly.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 kinked condition of the hypo-tube and the elongated condition of the gripper were not originally reported; the exact time of occurrence cannot be determined, therefore, these are not considered related to the issue reported.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device, and no internal actions 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 internal action 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.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.
