Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturers ref# (b)(4).Summary of investigational findings: the investigation is based on the event description only.It was reported that the filter deployed without incident but the hook on the delivery system cached the vein.The hook released after much maneuvering and there was no harm to the patient.No product was returned and no imaging was provided.Therefore, based on limited information received it is not possible to conclude why the hook on the delivery system became lodged into the vein after filter release.However, it is noted that 'after much maneuvering' the physician managed to release the hook and that the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.No evidence to suggest the product was not manufactured according to current specifications.Cook medical will continue to monitor for similar events.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.
