Event or Problem Description
Medtronic received a report that an axium coil separated/broke.The patient was undergoing surgery for treatment of an amorphous, unruptured aneurysm located on the ophthalmic artery with a max diameter of 2.3*4.2 mm and a 2.5 mm neck diameter.It was noted the patient's blood flow was normal and vessel tortuosity was normal.It was reported that during the aneurysm embolization procedure, the operator found that the coil stretched while being delivered through the catheter.For surgical safety, the entire coil and catheter were removed, and a new coil was unpacked and delivered through the same catheter to complete the procedure.The coil separated /broke during the procedure.The implant was slowly removed from the patient's body together with the catheter.There was not any surgical or medical intervention required.During the procedure there was not any friction during delivery.The physician did not reposition the coil, attempt to detach the coil or rotate the delivery pusher during the procedure.Continuous flush was administered during the duration of the procedure.All devices were prepared as indicate din the ifu.No patient complications were associated with this event.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product analysis conclusion updated: conclusion: based on the analysis conducted, the customer report of "coil separation/break" could not be confirmed, as the implant was found to be intact and still attached to the pusher.However, the customer report of "coil stretch" was confirmed.Possible causes for coil stretching include, but are not limited to, lack of hydration before procedure, insufficient continuous flush, tortuous anatomy, failure to retract the coil in a one-to-one motion with the implant pusher during repositioning, pusher rotation, advancing the coil against resistance, or using an incompatible catheter.The stryker micro catheter (model 168190), which is the excelsior sl-10 catheter (id: (b)(6)), appears to be compatible with the axium prime coil, ruling out incompatibility as a potential cause.Since the catheter was not returned, any contributions it may have made to the reported issue could not be assessed.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.
