    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    IT IS UNKNOWN WHICH RUNTHROUGH NS DEVICE BECAME FRACTURED, BOTH AV/PD IN #4 WERE TREATED TO PROTECT BOTH BRANCHES AND TWO RUNTHROUGHS WERE PLACED. IT WAS NOT DOCUMENTED WHICH DEVICE RECEIVED THE FRACTURE, FOR THIS REASON TWO SEPARATE MDR REPORTS WILL BE SUBMITTED. MDR REPORT # 9681834-2015-00052 WILL BE SUBMITTED FOR TW-AS418FAZ LOT# 150127 AND MDR REPORT # 9681834-2015-00059 FOR TW-DS418FHZ LOT# 150107. (B)(4). THE ACTUAL SAMPLE WAS NOT RETURNED TO THE MANUFACTURING FACILITY FOR EVALUATION. THEREFORE, THE INVESTIGATION WAS BASED UPON EVALUATION OF USER FACILITY INFORMATION AND THE RETENTION FROM THE REPORTED PRODUCT CODE/LOT # COMBINATION. (TW-AS418FAZ LOT # 150127). VISUAL INSPECTION ALONG THE TOTAL LENGTH FOUND NO ANOMALIES. MAGNIFYING INSPECTION OF THE PLATINUM COIL SEGMENT FOUND NO ANOMALIES. MAGNIFYING INSPECTION OF THE STAINLESS-STEEL COIL PORTION FOUND NO ANOMALIES. THE OUTSIDE DIAMETERS OF THE PLATINUM COIL AND THE STAINLESS STEEL COIL WERE VERIFIED TO MEET MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. THE HYDROPHILIC COATING WAS FULLY WETTED WITH SALINE SOLUTION AND WAS EVALUATED FOR LUBRICITY BY TACTILE FEEL. THE SAMPLE WAS CONFIRMED TO HAVE A UNIFORM APPLICATION OF HYDROPHILIC COATING AND NO LOCALIZED DECLINE IN LUBRICITY. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD AND THE PRODUCT RELEASE DECISION CONTROL SHEET OF THE INVOLVED PRODUCT /LOT# COMBINATION CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO PRODUCTION RELATED PROBLEMS OR ANY DISCREPANCIES IN THE INSPECTION/TEST RESULTS. A REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINT FILES CONFIRMED THAT THE INVOLVED PRODUCT /LOT# COMBINATION HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED PREVIOUSLY. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THIS EVENT WAS RELATED TO A DEVICE DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION. ALTHOUGH THE EXACT CAUSE CANNOT BE DETERMINED BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, IT IS LIKELY THAT THE ACTUAL SAMPLE WAS CAUGHT IN ONE OF THE ALREADY IMPLANTED STENT AND THE DISTAL SEGMENT BECAME STUCK. SUBSEQUENTLY, IN THIS STATE, THE ACTUAL SAMPLE WAS SUBJECTED TO A PULLING FORCE DURING WITHDRAWAL, RESULTING IN THE FRACTURE OF THE CORE WIRE AND THE PLATINUM COIL. THE DEVICE LABELING DOES ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH AN EVENT IN THE INSTRUCTIONS-FOR-USE, WHICH STATES: "IF ANY RESISTANCE IS FELT OR IF THE TIP'S BEHAVIOR AND/OR LOCATION SEEMS IMPROPER, STOP MANIPULATING THE RUNTHROUGH NS AND/OR THE DILATATION CATHETER AND DETERMINE THE CAUSE BY HIGH RESOLUTION FLUOROSCOPY. FAILURE TO EXERCISE PROPER CAUTION MAY RESULT IN BENDING, KINKING, AND SEPARATION OF THE GUIDE WIRE'S TIP, DAMAGE TO THE DILATATION CATHETER, OR DAMAGE TO THE VESSEL." "MANIPULATE THE RUNTHROUGH NS CAREFULLY WHEN CROSSING IT THROUGH A DEPLOYED STENT. STENT MIGRATION, STENT DEFORMATION, OR BREAKAGE OR SEPARATION OF THE RUNTHROUGH NS MAY BE CAUSED IF THE RUNTHROUGH NS IS CAUGHT BY THE DEPLOYED STENT." "WHEN SELECTING THE VESSEL IN WHICH THE RUNTHROUGH NS IS TO BE INSERTED OR WHEN ADVANCING THE GUIDE WIRE THROUGH THE STENOSIS, DO NOT TURN THE PROXIMAL END OF THE GUIDE WIRE THREE OR MORE TURNS IN SUCCESSION IN THE SAME DIRECTION IF THE GUIDE WIRE'S TIP IS TRAPPED. SEPARATION OF THE GUIDE WIRE MAY RESULT." ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION HAS BEEN PLACED ON FILE IN QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR APPROPRIATE TRACKING, TRENDING AND FOLLOW-UP. (B)(4).
