Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure to treat a basilar tip aneurysm using a penumbra coil 400 (pc400) and a px slim delivery microcatheter (px slim).During the procedure, the physician advanced a pc400 in the target vessel using a px slim; however, the pc400 would not take its intended shape or sit properly.It was reported that the physician believed the pc400 had stretched.Therefore, the pc400 was removed.The procedure was completed using a new pc400 and the same px slim.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.

Results: the pet lock was intact on the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The pusher assembly was kinked approximately 5.0, 26.0, 74.0, and 84.0 cm from the proximal end.The embolization coil was intact with the pusher assembly and had offset coil winds.Results: evaluation of the returned pc400 revealed offset coil winds throughout the length of the embolization coil.If the pc400 is forcefully manipulated against resistance, damage such as offset coil winds may occur.These offset coil winds may have contributed the pc400 not taking shape during the procedure.No other devices associated with the complaint were returned for evaluation, therefore, the root cause of resistance could not be determined.Further evaluation revealed kinks throughout the length of the pusher assembly.These kinks were likely incidental to the reported complaint.The introducer sheath could not be advanced over the proximal kink in the pusher assembly during the functional test, and therefore, the pc400 could not be functionally tested.Penumbra coils are visually 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.
