  • Causa
    The company aln received three complaints of incidents in which the filters of the abovementioned lots migrated. while non-filter factors (abdominal surgery and abnormal vena cava morphology) were able to explain the migration in 2 or 3 cases, analyzes made by the manufacturer revealed that the angle between the short legs and the sharp tip of the filter was slightly larger than the angle, potentially decreasing the filter attachment power, resulting in a higher frequency of filter migration. in addition, the aln states that this failure may result in the retention of the securing legs within the introducer catheter, which may result in inhibiting the implantation of the filter. aln initiated a recall by letters on february 21 and march 7, 2008. the uk's mhra - medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency is evaluating the nature of this action for further advice. the mhra has designated 2007/012/012/401/002 as the reference number for this recall.
