Manufacturer Narrative

Exemption number e2016032.(b)(4).Name and address for importer site: (b)(4).Summary of investigational findings: investigation is based on event description only, as no product was returned and no imaging was provided.Therefore, it would be inappropriate to speculate at what may or may not have occurred based on the limited information made available to us and why the filter did not release after the deployment button was pressed.However, 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 and nothing indicates that it did not perform as intended.Cook medical will continue to monitor for similar events.
