Optima Coil System OPTI0212BLK (REF N/A)Recalls & reported problems
Balt USA LLC · The Optima Coil System is a series of specialized coils that are inserted into the vasculature under angiographic visualization to embolize intracranial aneurysms and other vascular anomalies. The system consists of an embolization coil implant comprised of platinum and tungsten, affixed to a delivery pusher to facilitate insertion into the hub of a microcatheter. The system is available in various shapes, lengths, and sizes. The devices are to be placed into aneurysms to create blood stasis, reducing flow into the aneurysm and thrombosing the aneurysm. Upon positioning coils into the aneurysm, the coils are detached from the delivery pusher in a serial manner until the aneurysm is occluded. · Class 2 · Implant

As he advanced the coil he attempted to reposition and lost 1 to 1 and it was observed that the coil was no longer attached to delivery wire. He attempted to use delivery wire and a Synchro wire to push the remainder of the coil out of SL-10. This was noted to be difficult and he had to leave a long coil tail into the Maxillary.Coil was prepped per DFU. No patient injury occurred.
