(b)(4).Catalog #: igtcfs-65-1-jug-celect-pt.(b)(4).Summary of investigational findings: no imaging was provided and no product was returned.Therefore, it would be inappropriate to speculate at what may or may not have occurred based on the limited information made available to us.It is noted, that the device was removed from the patient and a new device was used to complete the procedure.It is known from the literature that excessive back tension could result in deployment difficulties/failure when pressing the release button.The ifu addresses the issue through the statement "while keeping slight back tension on the introducer, push the release button completely to ensure proper release of the filter" and the warning "excessive tension during deployment may prevent the filter from releasing when the release mechanism is activated".No evidence to suggest that this device was not manufactured according to specifications.Cook medical will continue to monitor for similar events.
