Manufacturer Narrative
|
Manufacturers ref# (b)(4).Changed from a malfunction to a serious injury after investigation.Summary of investigational findings: the investigation is based on the event description only.It was reported that with the filter out of the sheath, it cannot be released and therefore the physician decides to remove the filter using a jugular approach.The filter is removed successfully and with no harm to the patient.No product was returned and no imaging was provided.Therefore, based on limited information received it would be inappropriate to speculate at what may or may not have caused the difficulties in releasing the filter.However, according to the instructions for use it must be verified that the sheath hub and handle are connected before filter release to ensure that the metal mounting point is completely free of the sheath before filter release.When the filter position is correct the release button should be pressed completely to ensure proper release of the filter.There are adequate controls in place to ensure the device was manufactured to specifications.The device history record was reviewed with no evidence to suggest that the device was not manufactured according to 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.
