Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).Information regarding patient identifier, date of birth, gender, ethnicity and medical history were not provided.Procode is krd/hcg.Physical manufacturer name: codman and shurtleff inc., dba depuy synthes products, inc.((b)(4)).The healthcare professional reported some issues with the 4mm x 8cm deltaxsft 10 coil (dlx100408 / l15596).There was no report of any patient adverse event or complication.Multiple attempts to obtain additional information related to the procedure and the reported device issue were unsuccessful.If additional information is received at a later date, this file will be updated accordingly.The device was returned for evaluation.The investigational finding is documented below.Investigation summary: the non-sterile 4mm x 8cm deltaxsft 10 coil was received contained in a pouch.Visual inspection was performed.The core wire was observed broken and kinked.The introducer was separated from the unit.The device underwent microscopic inspection.The embolic coil was observed separated from the rest of the device in stretched and tangled condition.The distal outer sheath had not been softened, an indication that the resistance heating (rh) coil had not been heated and the detachment process had not been initiated.The device positioning unit (dpu) was observed kinked, but the marker band was found at 43 cm from the distal end; this is within specification.There was no other damages observed.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (l15596) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no nonconformances related to device manufacture or inspection.All product rejected during manufacturing was identified as scrap and properly accounted for.The complaint did not originally report the coil being stretched during the procedure.Multiple follow-up attempts were made to find out what the exact issue that the physician experienced with the coil were unsuccessful.It was not known if the issue was related to the stretched condition of the coil.With the limited information related to the procedure and the use of the device, the exact cause of the stretched condition of the coil and of the coil being separated from the device without the detachment cycle being initiated cannot be conclusively determined.Coil stretching is known potential issue associated with the use of this device.The ifu provides proper handling instructions for the device to prevent such issue as stretching from occurring.Stretching can occur during attempts to withdrawal the coil against resistance.The coil can also be mechanically separated from the device if force is unknowingly applied.Based on the device history record review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.In addition, devices undergo 100% inspection at final assembly for the condition of the embolic coil.Thus, it is not likely that the 4mm x 8cm deltaxsft 10 coil left the manufacturing facility with the embolic coil in a stretched condition.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended for statistical signals and corrective / preventive action may be triggered at a later time.Since there was no evidence to suggest the stretched condition observed on the returned coil was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.This is one of two products involved with the reported complaint.The associated manufacturer report numbers are: 3008114965-2020-00009 and 3008114965-2020-00010.Additional information will be submitted within 30 days of receipt.
