Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: the device was received for analysis.The device was received with the stent over constrained and the tip withdrawn inside the blue outer sheath.For investigation purposes the investigator exposed the tip to facilitate loading the device on to a guidewire.This wallstent device is recommended for use with a 0.035 (0.89mm) guidewire as per wallstent.The guidewire used by the customer was not returned for analysis.During product analysis the investigator successfully inserted a boston scientific guidewire through this device with no resistance or issues experienced.The stent was returned in the correct position on the delivery system.The investigator successfully deployed the stent with some resistance experienced due to the presence of solidified media on the inside of the delivery system and stent.A visual and microscopic examination identified no issues or damage to the deployed stent.A visual and microscopic examination identified no damage or issues with the stent cups or stent holder of the returned device.A visual and tactile examination identified no issues with the tip of the device.A visual and tactile examination found the shaft of the returned device to be free from kinks or damage.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
