Manufacturer Narrative

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.Additional information: a4, b1, b2, b5, b6, h1, h6 (patient and device codes).Investigation: investigation is reopened due to additional information provided.The following allegations have been investigated: embedded, occluded filter, difficult to remove.The reported allegations have been further investigated based on the information provided to date.Filter interacts with ivc wall, e.G.Penetration/perforation/embedment.This may be either symptomatic or asymptomatic.Potential causes may include improper deployment; and (or) excessive force or manipulations near an in-situ filter (e.G., a surgical or endovascular procedure in the vicinity of a filter).Potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: trauma to adjacent structures, vascular trauma, vena cava perforation, vena cava penetration.Ivc occlusion/ thrombosis, new dvt, ivc stenosis as a reported complication, is a known risk in relation to filter implant and is well documented in the clinical literature and in clinical practice guidelines.This is supported by the clinical evidence report established to assess available clinical data to identify and evaluate the clinical safety and performance of the cook vena cava filters.Potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: vena cava occlusion or thrombosis, vena cava stenosis, deep vein thrombosis.Physician practice guidelines and published guidance from regulatory agencies recommend that patients with indwelling filters undergo routine follow-up.The risks/benefits of filter retrieval should be considered for each patient during follow-up.Once protection from pe is no longer necessary, filter retrieval should be considered.Filter retrieval should be attempted when feasible and clinically indicated.Filter retrieval is a patient-specific, clinically complex decision; the decision to remove a filter should be based on each patient¿s individual risk/benefit profile (e.G., a patient¿s continued need for protection from pe compared to their experience with and (or) ongoing risk of experiencing filter-related complications).For all retrievable ivc filters, retrieval becomes more challenging with time, and this is commonly due to encapsulation of the filter legs or hook (in a tilted filter) by tissue ingrowth.The filter is designed to be retrieved with the günther tulip vena cava filter retrieval set.It may also be retrieved with the cloversnare® vascular retriever.Cook has not performed testing to evaluate the safety or effectiveness of filter retrieval using other retrieval systems or techniques.The published clinical literature includes descriptions of alternative techniques for filter retrieval; use of these techniques varies according to physician experience, patient anatomy, and filter position.The safety or effectiveness of these alternative retrieval techniques has not been established.Specific for ¿embedded¿ a filter that is embedded in the wall of the ivc may be difficult to retrieve.For all retrievable ivc filters, retrieval becomes more challenging with time, and this is commonly due to encapsulation of the filter legs or hook (in a tilted filter) by tissue ingrowth.Catalog and lot numbers are unknown, however, the alleged celect is manufactured and inspected according to controls.No evidence to suggest that this device was not manufactured according to specifications and nothing indicates that the filter did not perform as intended, e.G.Intended for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (pe) via placement in the vena cava.Cook will reopen its investigation if further information is received warranting supplementation in accordance with 21 c.F.R.803.56.This report includes information known at this time.A follow-up report will be submitted should additional relevant information become available.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.

Event Description

Patient alleges an unsuccessful percutaneous inferior vena cava (ivc) filter retrieval attempt on (b)(6) 2018.Per the unsuccessful ivc filter retrieval report dated (b)(6) 2018: ".A venogram showed there was no patency of the ivc filter that was done and then using the ivc filter kit, i was able to go all the way to the filter and after appropriate snaring, i tried to push the guiding catheter and tried to free the thines [sic] from the wall of the ivc using gentle tugging, not excessive force; however, the filter would not come out after several attempts.At this point in time, i decided to leave the filter alone.".

Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: investigation is reopened due to additional information provided.The following allegations have been investigated: abdominal/back pain, light-headed, discomfort, nausea, shortness of breath, tachycardia, limits to physical activity, difficult ambulation, and anxiety.The reported allegations have been further investigated based on the information provided to date.Unknown if the reported abdominal/back pain, light-headed, discomfort, nausea, shortness of breath, tachycardia, limits to physical activity, difficult ambulation, and anxiety are directly related to the filter and unable to identify a corresponding failure mode at this point in time.No evidence to suggest that this device was not manufactured according to specifications and nothing indicates that the filter did not perform as intended, e.G.Intended for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (pe) via placement in the vena cava.Cook will reopen its investigation if further information is received warranting supplementation in accordance with 21 c.F.R.803.56.This report includes information known at this time.A follow-up report will be submitted should additional relevant information become available.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.

Event Description

Patient allegedly received an implant on (b)(6) 2017 via the right femoral vein due to post trauma.Patient is alleging embedment.Patient notes and further alleges experiencing "abdominal pain daily.Back pain.Light headed at times.Chest discomfort at [at] times.Nausea.Shortness of breath.Rapid heart rate".Additionally, patient notes limits to physical activity including ambulation due to shortness of breath and anxiety.Per the (b)(6) 2017 inferior vena cava placement: "ivc filter placed to the l2-l3 level from open right common femoral vein approach".

Event Description

Patient is alleging vena cava perforation.Per a computed tomography (ct) abdomen: "the digital scout images reveal an ivc filter present which appears to be in good position"."ct images reveal an ivc filter in the infrarenal ivc with the tines projecting through the walls inferiorly by approximately 2-5 mm".
