Executive summary: corrected: the type of hemorrhage was subarachnoid hemorrhage, the drugs used were recombinant activated factorvii and nicardipine, and the adverse event occurred 72 hours post-procedure (not 76 hours).Manufacturing date: added.(b)(4).The device history record (dhr) review confirms that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The subject device was not returned for analysis; therefore, physical as well as a functional testing could not be performed.Hemorrhage and neurological deficits are known risks associated with endovascular procedures and noted as such in the device directions for use (dfu).Therefore, an assignable cause of anticipated procedural complication was assigned to this event.
