Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Exemption number e2016032.(b)(4).It has not been possible to further investigate or evaluate this alleged event based on the limited information provided to date via the operative note stating 'device unable to be retrieved, tilt, migration, anxiety'.Cook will reopen its investigation if further information is received warranting supplementation in accordance with 21 c.F.R.803.56.Manipulation in the area of the filter implant may cause migration or contribute to changes in the filter configuration and placement.Filter retrieval is occasionally difficult.This is well-known from published scientific literature where filter retrievals are referred to as simple vs.Complex.Several case reports published in scientific literature describe complex cases with successful endovascular filter retrievals using additional, advanced techniques.Filter tilt is a known risk in relation to filter implant reported in the published scientific literature and may occur during placement or during implanting period.Unknown if the reported anxiety is directly related to the filter and unable to identify a corresponding failure mode at this point in time.No evidence to suggest that this device was not manufactured according to specifications and nothing indicates that the filter did not perform as intended, e.G.Intended for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (pe) via placement in the vena cava.
