Product complaint # (b)(4).A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Complaint conclusion: as reported by a healthcare professional, during a coil embolization, a 2mmx8cm deltapaq cere coil (cdf10020830, c40907) was being as used as a second coil.The physician didn't like the shape of coil deployment and decided to pull it out.During re-sheathing the coil, the introducer failed to be re-zipped.The physician used a same like product.The procedure was successfully finished.There was no patient injury reported.One non-sterile unit deltapaq cere 2mmx8cm was received inside of a pouch.The hub was inspected and no damages was noted on it.The dpu was inspected and it was found several kinked.The introducer was inspected and it was found partially unzipped and kinked.The re-sheathing tool was inspected and it was found in good conditions.The v-notch was inspected under microscope and no damages were noted on it.The rh was inspected under microscope and it was found in good conditions.The rh was not heated.The embolic coil was inspected under microscope and it was found stretched.The functional analysis could not be performed due to the conditions of the received device (dpu-several kinks, introducer- kinked).A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device c40907 number, and no non-conformances related to the reported complaint condition were identified.The complaint reported by the customer ¿coil introducer- zipping difficulty-unzipping¿ even though that the functional analysis could not be performed the introducer could not be zipped due the conditions of the device and because of this we can confirm the complaint.However, the condition noted in the dpu (several kinks) may have contributed to the complaint as reported but this cannot be determined conclusively.This condition could be caused by excessive use of force in the device.The complaint reported by the customer ¿coil - positioning difficulty-poor conformability¿ could not be evaluated because it is specific to the patient and procedure at the time of occurrence and cannot be replicated in the lab.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs on proper positioning of the microcoil system.The ifu also warns: ¿if repositioning of the microcoil is necessary, carefully observe the motion of the microcoil in respect to the dpu wire while retracting the microcoil under fluoroscopy.If the microcoil movement is not one-to-one with the dpu wire, or if repositioning is difficult, the microcoil may have become stretched and could possibly break.Gently remove and discard the microcoil system¿.Assignment of root cause for the events remains speculative and inconclusive, based on the limited information provided.However, it is possible that clinical and procedural factors, including device manipulation / interaction, aneurysm size and vessel characteristics, device selection, and the concomitant microcatheter, may have contributed to the reported issues.Multiple attempts to obtain additional information were unsuccessful.If information is provided at a later date, the file will be reopened and processed accordingly.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended to identify statistical signals for consideration of further correction action.Since there was no evidence to suggest the events were related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
