Event or Problem Description
|
|
As reported by a healthcare professional, during an emergency coil embolization of a ruptured posterior cerebral artery aneurysm, a 5mm x 9.7cm micrusframe10 was positioned in the aneurysm as the first coil, but the coil failed to detach.The physician attempted several times with different positioning of the coil to the microcatheter and with less load on the microcatheter.In the end, the physician withdrew the coil, but the coil detached after it was about 3cm in the microcatheter.The physician was able to push the detached coil fully in the aneurysm sac.No patient complications occurred as a result of the event and there was no procedural delay.The pre-deployment electrical check was performed without incident.It was last reported that the patient is doing okay and is intubated from his presenting subarachnoid hemorrhage (sah).The device is not available for analysis.No further relevant information was provided at the time of complaint initiation.

Product complaint # (b)(4).A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Complaint conclusion: as reported by a healthcare professional, during an emergency coil embolization of a ruptured posterior cerebral artery aneurysm, a 5mm x 9.7cm micrusframe10 (mfr100509/ l14284) was positioned in the aneurysm as the first coil, but the coil failed to detach.The physician attempted several times with different positioning of the coil to the microcatheter and with less load on the microcatheter.In the end, the physician withdrew the coil, but the coil detached after it was about 3cm in the microcatheter.The physician was able to push the detached coil fully in the aneurysm sac.No patient complications occurred as a result of the event and there was no procedural delay.The pre-deployment electrical check was performed without incident.It was last reported that the patient is doing okay and is intubated from his presenting subarachnoid hemorrhage (sah).Additional information received indicated that an excelsior sl-10 0.0165¿ (stryker) microcatheter was used in conjunction with the complaint coil.There was an adequate flush maintained through the devices and the concomitant devices functioned as expected.Competitor coils were used to complete the procedure.This was an arteriosclerotic patient with calcified vessels and some tortuosity.The ruptured aneurysm was ¿broad-based¿ (7x6x6mm with 5mm neck) with no bifurcation.No further information was provided.The device remains implanted; therefore, no device analysis can be performed.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device l14284 number, and no non-conformances related to the reported complaint condition were identified failure to detach and unintended detachment requiring additional intervention are known potential complications associated with the use of micrusframe coils in coil embolization procedures.Factors that can contribute to detachment issues include failure to confirm secure connection of the cable to the dpu and dcb.The instructions for use (ifu) advises the user to ensure that the connecting cable is fully seated with the connector end of the dpu wire and output connector of the dcb.The user should verify that the microcoil delivery system is fully connected and that no faults are indicated on the dcb.If a fault exists, all connections should be reseated between the dpu, the dcb, and the connecting cable.If a fault still persists, the connecting cable should be replaced if this does not correct the error, the dcb should be replaced.If the microcoil delivery system still continues to have a fault, the microcoil should be retrieved and replaced with a new microcoil system.If after depressing the detach button on the dcb, the dcb should be replaced if the light and audible tone do not activate.Also, if the system ready light is not illuminated and there is no detachment after two detachment attempts, the dcb should be replaced.If detachment still does not occur, the microcoil system should be carefully withdrawn and replaced.Assignment of root cause for the event remains speculative and inconclusive based on the limited information available for review and without the return of the associated devices; however, it is possible that circumstances of the procedure may have contributed.The file will be re-reviewed if additional information is received at a later date.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended to identify statistical signals for consideration of further correction action.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
