Additional Manufacturer Narrative
To whom it may concern: on (b)(6) 2018, we received a complaint regarding the use of a single optima coil (4mm x 7cm complex soft coil)."coil did not detach, when it was being pulled back into the catheter before the physician realized it was not detached, it detached, and part of the coil was in the micro catheter.The physician pushed the coil into the aneurysm using the coil pusher wire.It pushed out into the parent artery and was then snared out.They physician completed the procedure with no patient complication".The results of our investigation following return of the affected device, are summarized as follows: the visual analysis revealed the delivery pusher with the implant coil not attached.The distal end of the implant coil exhibited a blooming tip on the stretch-resistant thread.By the condition of the device it is confirmed that the coil detached by electrical current however, it is unknown if it was detached at the first attempt.The physician stated that the coil was pushed into the aneurysm using the coil pusher wire.It pushed out into the parent artery and was then snared out.The aneurysm dimensions were 3.5mm x 5mm close to a wide neck with no stent placed to reinforce the coils.The coil prolapse may result from a variety of causes, including size mismatch between the coils and aneurysm, inadequate position of the microcatheter, coil instability after detachment, excessive embolization, microcatheter or stent related problems, or from being pushed by subsequent coil embolization.Prolapse occurred in aneurysms with wide or "loose" necks.Based on the provided information and the investigation results the reported complaint cannot be confirmed.The potential root cause to the unexpected detachment was due to the polymer sr thread diameter increasing after detachment.However, it cannot be determined what caused the coil to fall into the parent artery after detachment.Review of the lot history records for the reported lots did not reveal any in-process or lot-specific issue that could account for the observation.No additional complaints against lot number 100118a have been made for the same issue.Review of the lot history records for the reported lots did not reveal any in-process or lot-specific issue that could account for the observation.No additional complaints against lot number (lot number) have been made for the same issue.Comprehensive analysis of this failure mode has remained subject to monitoring for any unacceptable increase in trend.
