The product was not returned to abbott vascular for analysis.Return of the stent delivery system (sds), inflation device and accessory devices may have further aided the analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents reported from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine conclusive cause for the reported stent deployment issue since the device was not returned.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
