    EXEMPTION NUMBER E2016032. WILLIAM COOK EUROPE APS (MANUFACTURER) IS SUBMITTING THIS REPORT ON BEHALF OF COOK MEDICAL INCORPORATED (CMI) (IMPORTER). H11) CORRECTED DATA BASED ON NEW INFORMATION RECEIVED: B1: ADVERSE EVENT TO PRODUCT PROBLEM. H1: SERIOUS INJURY TO MALFUNCTION. IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE OR EVALUATE THIS ALLEGED EVENT BASED ON THE LIMITED INFORMATION PROVIDED TO DATE VIA THE OPERATIVE NOTE STATING "VENA CAVA PERFORATION AND DEVICE IS UNABLE TO BE RETRIEVED" COOK WILL REOPEN ITS INVESTIGATION IF FURTHER INFORMATION IS RECEIVED WARRANTING SUPPLEMENTATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH 21 C.F.R. 803.56. FILTER PERFORATION OF THE VENA CAVA WALL IS A KNOWN RISK REPORTED IN THE PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE. ALSO, PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE DESCRIBES THAT MANIPULATION IN THE AREA OF FILTER PLACEMENT COULD CONTRIBUTE TO CHANGES TO THE FILTER CONFIGURATION AND PLACEMENT THEREBY POTENTIALLY INITIATE PERFORATION OF THE VENA CAVA WALL. THERE IS A CURRENT DEBATE IN THE PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE ON A DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN IVC WALL PERFORATION WITH AND WITHOUT CLINICAL SEQUELAE. E.G. FILTER LEGS MAY BE OUTSIDE THE CONTRAST LUMEN ON IMAGING WITHOUT ACTUALLY PERFORATING THE IVC WALL (KNOWN AS TENTING) AND WITH NO CLINICAL SEQUELAE. IN CONTRAST, PERFORATION OF ADJACENT ORGANS IS REPORTED WITH CLINICAL SEQUELAE. FILTER RETRIEVAL IS OCCASIONALLY DIFFICULT. THIS IS WELL-KNOWN FROM PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE WHERE FILTER RETRIEVALS ARE REFERRED TO AS SIMPLE VS. COMPLEX. SEVERAL CASE REPORTS PUBLISHED IN SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE DESCRIBE COMPLEX CASES WITH SUCCESSFUL ENDOVASCULAR FILTER RETRIEVALS USING ADDITIONAL, ADVANCED TECHNIQUES. NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT THIS DEVICE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS AND NOTHING INDICATES THAT THE FILTER DID NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED, E.G. INTENDED FOR THE PREVENTION OF RECURRENT PULMONARY EMBOLISM (PE) VIA PLACEMENT IN THE VENA CAVA.
