Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the posterior communicating artery (pcom) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, a smart coil was unable to advance beyond its initial position within its introducer sheath.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.The procedure was completed using another smart coil.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Results: the pet lock was intact on the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted proximal to the introducer sheath friction lock.The embolization coil was undamaged and intact with the pusher assembly.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted proximal to the introducer sheath friction lock.If the mid-joint was retracted proximal to the friction lock, resistance will likely be experienced while advancing the device, and the pusher assembly will not advance at all within its introducer sheath.During functional testing, resistance was encounter while pusher assembly mid-joint passed through the friction lock.After mid-joint was passed through the friction lock, the device was able to advance through its introducer sheath and a demonstration microcatheter without an issue.Penumbra coils 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.H3 other text : placeholder.
