MAUDE data represents reports of adverse events involving medical devices. This maude entry was filed from a company representative,health report with the FDA on 2016-01-08 for PROPEL MINI SINUS IMPLANT 60011 manufactured by Intersect Ent.
[35489516]
The propel mini sinus implant is intended for use in patients 18 years of age or greater following ethmoid sinus surgery to maintain patency, thereby reducing the need for post-operative intervention such as surgical adhesion lysis and/or use of oral steroids. The propel mini sinus implant separates mucosal tissues, provides stabilization of the middle turbinate, prevents obstruction by adhesions, and reduces edema. During the investigation the physician's opinion was that because the patient did not have middle turbinates due to prior surgeries, this resulted in the implants sitting against the septum leading to septal perforation due to pressure necrosis through mucosa and cartilage. The radial force exerted by the implant is orders of magnitude smaller than the force required to produce fractures in the nasal septum (lee m, et. Al. Ohns (2010) 143, 784-788). The radial force decreases over time and there are no sharp edges to be pushed into/through the septum. Additionally, based on the company's evaluation and consistent with the reported information from the physician, there does not appear to be any device malfunction. Thus, it is highly unlikely that the implants caused or contributed to the septal perforation in this case. Given this patient's history of chronic sinusitis with persisting nasal polyposis and multiple prior sinus surgeries, it is more likely that the septal perforation resulted from surgical trauma, chronic obstructive polyposis, or the chronic use of topical nasal corticosteroids sprays. However, in the opinion of the treating physician the device contributed to the adverse event, thus intersect ent is reporting this event out of an abundance of caution. The following is being provided as this device is a combination product: name: propel; dose, frequency & route used: (1) 370 ug implant; diagnosis for use: sinus surgery. Combination product -yes.
