Event Text Entries

[133314027] The reported "black necrotic tissue" with blistering was assessed as a serious injury related to the use of the coolsculpting device and requiring medical intervention to prevent irreversible damage to a body structure and/or body function. Burns are risks inherent to the use of the coolsculpting device, and are detailed in the coolsculpting user manual. The device system logs from the treatment were analyzed, and it was found that an alert by the system "freeze event (z409-383)" was detected by the software, to alert the user. The coolsculpting user manual states as caution that when a thermal event (z409-yyy) is detected, the applicator and gel pad should be removed, and the area should not be retreated for 24 hours, to prevent the occurrence of burns on the area. The treatment provider re-treated the same area right away, despite the freeze event. The device functioned as designed by sending the alarm. Zeltiq (now allergan) was initially made aware of the reportable event on (b)(6) 2017, and an initial attempt to submit this mdr was made on (b)(6) 2017. However, due to the incorrect method of submission recently identified and being rectified by the organization, and for which fda's guidance was sought in (b)(6) 2018 under (b)(4), this mdr is being re-submitted on 01/16/2019.
