Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using a penumbra coil 400 (pc400) and px slim delivery microcatheter (px slim).During the procedure, the pc400 unintentionally detached inside the px slim; therefore, the px slim and pc400 were removed.No additional information regarding the completion of the procedure was provided.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 was kinked approximately 115.0 cm and 117.0 cm from the proximal end.The stretch resistance wire (sr wire) was fractured and the proximal constraint sphere was present inside the distal detachment tip (ddt).The embolization coil was detached from the pusher assembly and not returned for evaluation.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned pc400 revealed that the embolization coil was detached due to the sr wire fracture.If the embolization coil is forcefully retracted against resistance, the sr wire may become fractured and allow the embolization coil to detach from the proximal constraint sphere.The px slim used in the procedure and the detached embolization coil were not returned for evaluation; therefore, the root cause of the resistance could not be determined.Further evaluation revealed pusher assembly kinks.These kinks were likely incidental to the complaint and may have occurred during packaging for return to penumbra.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.Section h.Box 6.Conclusions code 1: 4316 - the investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the cause of the detachment issue.
 
Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using a penumbra coil 400 (pc400) and px slim delivery microcatheter (px slim).During the procedure, while advancing the pc400 through the px slim, the pc400 unintentionally detached inside the px slim.Therefore, the physician removed the px slim containing the detached pc400 and then removed the pc400.The procedure was completed using a new pc400 and the same px slim.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
