Carotid stent and post-dilation balloon system with integrated embolic protection system has an integrated filter, that due to a wire-to-filter-bond issue, may fail to open following sheath retraction; and if this condition were to occur during a procedure, the result may be loss of intended integrated embolic protection.

During the same procedure, two Neuroguard devices malfunctioned. A separate Medical Device Report is being made for each device. This report is for the second one. See report 3011471056-2026-00060 for the first. It was further reported that a second device (NG-NV-6-30 Neuroguard Stent IEP System) was attempted through the same 7Fr non-Contego catheter as the first device and the same resistance and inability to advance occurred, with the system not advancing past the distal end of the 7F catheter. The resistance was reported to have caused the system wire to buckle through the sheath retraction deployment knob. Resistance in the catheter caused an unsheathe and stent deployment inside the guide catheter. Both the 7Fr non-Contego catheter and Neuroguard were again successfully removed together without patient harm. A 6Fr non-Contego (Penumbra Benchmark) catheter and a 7x30 non-Contego (Cordis Precise Pro RX) stent were used to complete the procedure without issue. No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
