The complaint device was not returned for evaluation.Three requests were made for additional information and for medical imaging.No response was received.Work order (b)(4) was reviewed and appears complete and correct.Cook medical (b)(6) medical (b)(4) reviewed the complaint and stated: "the death was not related to the device, and was procedure-related".The instructions for use supplied with the device states: "do not continue advancing any portion of the delivery system if resistance is felt during advancement of the wire guide or delivery system.Stop and assess the cause of resistance.Vessel or catheter damage may occur.Exercise particular care in areas of stenosis, intravascular thrombosis or in calcified or tortuous vessels." "potential adverse events that may occur and/or require intervention include, but are not limited to: aortic damage, including perforation, dissection, bleeding, rupture; death; renal complications and subsequent attendant problems (e.G., artery stenosis or occlusion, contrast toxicity, infarct, insufficiency, failure); and vessel damage." "when a satisfactory graft position has been achieved, exchange the contralateral angiographic catheter and wire guide with a selective wire guide/selective catheter positioned just below the level of the proximal body.Cannulate the partially deployed proximal main body.Advance the selective catheter over the selective wire guide into the renal artery.Exchange the selective wire with a rosen wire or equivalent wire guide." "utilizing contralateral access sheath and wire guide, advance a guiding catheter into each fenestration and its respective vessel." based on the information present, there is no evidence that a device non-conformance or deficiency contributed to the complaint.The complaint reported appears to be related to procedural factors during cannulation of the wire.
