Occlusion was reported, however with the limited information provided the event could not be further clarified, it is unknown if it was a stenotic or thrombotic event. Blood clots, clotting and/or occlusive thrombosis within the filter and/or the vasculature do not represent a device malfunction.

With the limited information provided it is not possible to draw a conclusion between the events and the device. There is nothing in the information provided to suggest that there is a malfunction in the design and manufacturing process of the device; therefore, no corrective action will be taken.
