Product complaint # = > (b)(4).Information regarding patient age, gender, weight, medical history, race, and ethnicity was not provided.Procode: krd/hcg.Concomitant med products due to character limitation: 6f sheath introducer, (terumo), traxcess (microvention) guidewire, 6f fubuki (asahi intecc) guiding catheter, sl-10 (stryker) microcatheter, y-connector (abbott), dcs syringe.(b)(6).[complaint conclusion] as reported by a healthcare professional, during a coil embolization after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (sah), the 5mm x 15cm orbit galaxy tdl complex fill (640cf0515/30057852) hydraulic coil was selected for use as a framing coil, but the embolic coil could not be properly placed in the aneurysm.The physician tried to re-sheath the coil, but the sheath became damaged.The physician attempted to retract the coil which failed due to the damaged introducer sheath.The coil and sl-10 (stryker) microcatheter were removed as a unit from the patient vasculature.The coil was removed from the microcatheter and the microcatheter was re-approached to the lesion with another coil.The procedure was completed successfully without further incident.No patient complications occurred as a result of the event.The surgery was not delayed to the event.The complaint product was new and stored per labeling instructions.The procedure was conducted in accordance with the instructions for use (ifu) and a constant flush was maintained.No visible product damage/defect was noted prior to use.The coil was unsheathed without any issue.No resistance was encountered between the coil and the microcatheter.No unintended detachment was observed in the vessel or in the microcatheter.A 6f terumo sheath introducer, traxcess (microvention) guidewire, 6f fubuki (asahi intecc) guiding catheter, y-connector (abbott), and a dcs syringe were also used for the case.No further information was provided.The device was discarded and is thus not available for evaluation.A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with this lot presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection process that can be related to the reported complaint.With the limited information available and without the product and concomitant microcatheter available for analysis, the reported customer complaint could not be confirmed.Based on the device history record review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.The ifu contains several cautions relating to this situation, including instructions for troubleshooting the situation should it be encountered during use.Assignment of root cause for the event remains speculative and inconclusive, based on the minimal information provided; however, it is possible that procedural and handling factors, including device manipulation and the concomitant microcatheter, may have contributed to the reported failure.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended for statistical signals and corrective/preventive action may be triggered at a later time.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.The manufacturer will submit a supplemental report if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.

As reported by a healthcare professional, during a coil embolization after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (sah), the 5mm x 15cm orbit galaxy tdl complex fill (640cf0515/30057852) hydraulic coil was selected for use as a framing coil, but the embolic coil could not be properly placed in the aneurysm.The physician tried to re-sheath the coil, but the sheath became damaged.The physician attempted to retract the coil which failed due to the damaged introducer sheath.The coil and sl-10 (stryker) microcatheter were removed as a unit from the patient vasculature.The coil was removed from the microcatheter and the microcatheter was re-approached to the lesion with another coil.The procedure was completed successfully without further incident.No patient complications occurred as a result of the event.The surgery was not delayed to the event.The complaint product was new and stored per labeling instructions.The procedure was conducted in accordance with the instructions for use (ifu) and a constant flush was maintained.No visible product damage/defect was noted prior to use.The coil was unsheathed without any issue.No resistance was encountered between the coil and the microcatheter.No unintended detachment was observed in the vessel or in the microcatheter.A 6f terumo sheath introducer, traxcess (microvention) guidewire, 6f fubuki (asahi intecc) guiding catheter, y-connector (abbott), and a dcs syringe were also used for the case.No further information was provided.
