Event or Problem Description

|
As reported by a healthcare professional, during coil embolization for a type ii endoleak at the inferior mesenteric artery, a deltamaxx coil (cdx18031230/s11837) failed to detach.Initially a presidio coil was placed.As the second coil, the complaint deltamaxx was taken out from its package.Pre-deployment electrical check was performed, and the coil was inserted, but the coil could not be detached when the detachment button was pressed.The physician pressed the button again, but it was found that the light had gone off, so the delivery wire was withdrawn and the coil was removed.The coil was replaced with another deltamaxx, and the procedure was successfully completed by placing 10 coils without further issues or delay.There was also no patient injury / complication reported.The complaint product was new and stored per labeling instructions.The procedure was conducted in accordance with the ifu and the constant flush had been maintained at all time.No visible defect/damage was noted on the products prior to or after the event.No unintended detachment was observed in the vessel or in the microcatheter.It was reported that the product would be returned for investigation.No further information was available.

Conclusion: the device was returned for analysis.The detachment fiber did not receive heat and melt.The device positioning unit (dpu) passed electrical testing with resistance at 51.1 ohms (range 48.5/56.0 and the lab sample enpower and cable systems ready green light illuminated.The coil detached on the first detachment cycle.The post-detachment resistance passes at 51.2 ohms.Post-detachment shows that the detachment fiber received heat and melted.No manufacturing defects were found.A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with this lot presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection process that can be related to the reported complaint.The complaint of the coil¿s non-detachment was not confirmed.The dpu passed electrical testing and the coil detached on the first detachment cycle; therefore, the root cause of the coils non-detachment cannot be determined.In addition, without the return of the complete detachment system used in the procedure, it cannot be determined if these components contributed to the complaint event.Since there was no evidence of a manufacturing issue related to the event, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
