Penumbra’s reperfusion catheter is used by many surgeons in thrombectomy procedures when removing blood clots from the veins and arteries of their patients.
If you have suffered an injury due to this device, you should contact an experienced JET 7 catheter lawyer immediately.
What is its use?
As a component of the Penumbra System with the Penumbra Aspiration Pump and Penumbra Aspiration Tubing, the JET 7 Xtra Flex catheter and JET 7MAX configuration (JET 7 Xtra Flex catheter and MAX Delivery Device) are medical devices intended to restore blood flow by removing clots using continuous aspiration in patients experiencing an acute ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or those who fail IV t-PA therapy.
Is it safe?
In several reports regarding the device, arterial ruptures led to patient deaths.
In some of these cases, the rupture occurred in the internal carotid artery, which supplies blood to the brain and eyes.
Furthermore, some reported ruptures were associated with damage to the distal tip.
Gabriel Grego, the managing partner at Quintessential Capital Management, published a short thesis calling the Penumbra Jet 7 “unsafe and unmarketable.”
Penumbra JET 7 Catheter Risks and Injuries
The FDA has received over 200 medical device reports (MDRs) associated with the JET 7 Xtra Flex catheter, including:
Deaths
Serious injuries
Malfunctions
Death
Of the MDRs, twenty of them describe 14 unique patient deaths, which include reports from different reporting sources for a single adverse event.
Other MDRs describe serious patient injuries such as:
Vessel damage
Hemorrhage
Cerebral infarction
Device Failure
Device failure modes reported in the MDRs include:
Ballooning
Expansion
Rupture
Breakage
Complete separation
Exposure of internal support coils near the distal tip region of the JET 7 Xtra Flex catheter
Additionally, Bench testing performed by the manufacturer, where the catheter distal tip is plugged and pressurized to failure, demonstrates that the JET 7 Xtra Flex catheter is not able to withstand the same burst pressures to failure as the manufacturer’s other large-bore aspiration catheters.
What to Do if You Suffer a Penumbra Catheter Injury
If you or a loved one has suffered a Penumbra catheter injury – reporting your injury is the first step in your road to recovery.
Here’s how to do so:
Report Injuries to the FDA
Voluntary reports can be submitted through MedWatch.
Health care personnel employed by facilities that are subject to the FDA’s user facility reporting requirements should follow the reporting procedures established by their facilities.
When possible, reports should include the following information:
Anatomical location, vessel size, time from symptom onset, and concomitant treatments of the vessel occlusion
Vessel anatomical characteristics (tortuosity)
Whether the adverse event occurred intra-procedurally or post-procedurally
A complete description of the adverse event and patient outcome, if available
The device model names and numbers
A unique device identifier (UDI)
Any ancillary devices used during the procedure, such as the:
Specific trade name and size of the microcatheter
Intermediate catheter
Guide catheter
Guidewire
Stent-retriever (if applicable)
Any ancillary fluids or drugs used during the procedure, such as:
Contrast agents and saline flushes (if applicable)
The delivery device used
Prompt reporting of adverse events can help the FDA identify and better understand the risks associated with medical devices.
