Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the m1 segment of the middle cerebral artery (mca) using a penumbra system jetd kit.During the procedure, the physician made an initial pass using a non-penumbra stent retriever through the penumbra system jetd reperfusion catheter (jetd) and a neuron max 6f 088 long sheath (neuron max).While removing the stent retriever, it was ¿hung up¿ inside of the jetd, causing the jetd to stretch; therefore, the jetd and was removed.The procedure was completed using a penumbra system ace 68 reperfusion catheter (ace68), with a penumbra system 3max reperfusion catheter (3maxc), the same sheath, and another stent retriever.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.

Results: the returned jetd was kinked at approximately 112.0 cm from the hub.The total length of jetd was measured to be approximately 137.0 cm from the hub.Conclusion: evaluation of the returned jetd revealed a damaged region on its distal length.If the non-penumbra stent retriever became stuck within the jetd lumen and was then forcefully retracted, the jetd may compress and become damaged.The non-penumbra stent retriever was not returned for evaluation and the root cause of it becoming stuck within the jetd could not be determined.During functional testing, a demonstration psr3d was able to be delivered through the jetd within minor resistance experienced at the damaged region.Penumbra catheters are inspected during in-process inspection and during quality inspection after manufacturing.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.
