Manufacturer Narrative

Exemption number e2016032.William cook europe aps (manufacturer) is submitting this report on behalf of cook medical incorporated (cmi) (importer).Name and address for importer site: cook medical incorporated (cmi) (b)(4).Registration no.: (b)(4).Additional information: investigation - 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 ¿tilt, vc perforation, ivc occlusion, bleeding, dizziness, walking issues".Cook will reopen its investigation if further information is received warranting supplementation in accordance with 21 c.F.R.803.56.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.Vena cava wall perforation is a known potential complication of vena cava filters.Both symptomatic and asymptomatic events have been reported.Among other causes, vena cava wall perforation may inadvertently be initiated by improper deployment, excessive force or manipulations near an implanted filter (e.G., a surgical procedure in the vicinity of a filter) and (or) procedures that involve other devices being passed through an in situ filter.There is a current debate in the published scientific literature on a differentiation between ivc wall perforation with and without clinical sequelae.E.G.Filter legs may be outside the contrast lumen on imaging without actually perforating the ivc wall (known as tenting) and with no clinical sequelae.In contrast, perforation of adjacent organs is reported with clinical sequelae.Ivc thrombotic occlusion as an outcome for cook ivc filters is addressed in the published scientific literature.Ivc thrombotic occlusion is defined as the presence of an occluding thrombus in the ivc after filter insertion and documented by ultrasound (us), ct, mr imaging or venography; this may be symptomatic or asymptomatic.Unknown if the reported bleeding is directly related to the filter.Unknown if the reported dizziness, walking issues are directly related to the filter and unable to identify a corresponding failure mode at this point in time.Catalog number and lot unknown are unknown, but the filter celect is manufactured and inspected according to specification.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.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
