Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Results: the top peel-away part of the sterile pouch was breached.Adhesive residue was observed where the pouch is sealed.There was no visible damage to the device.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned device confirmed that the top of the sterile pouch was opened.The top and sides of the sterile pouches are sealed by the vendor who supplies them to penumbra.During incoming inspection at penumbra, the pouches are 100% visually inspected.Once the product is loaded into the sterile pouches, the bottom of the pouches are sealed by penumbra.Then, the sterile pouches are once again 100% visually inspected by quality.The root cause of the sterile pouch not being sealed could not be determined.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.
 
Event or Problem Description
During preparation for a coil embolization procedure, it was noticed that the top of the sterile pouch containing a new ruby coil was not sealed upon opening the packaging box.The unsealed sterile package was found prior to use and therefore, the ruby coil was not used in the procedure.The procedure was successfully completed using other ruby coils.
