Manufacturer Narrative
Pma/510(k) #: p050017/s002 and s003.Annex g: g07001 - part/component/sub-assembly term not applicable.Device evaluation: this complaint is related to complaint file (b)(4).This investigation captures off-label use of the zilver 635 vascular self-expanding stent.The ziv6-35-80-8-80 device of lot number c1735302 involved in this complaint was implanted in the patient and was not available for evaluation.With the information provided, a document-based investigation was conducted.Document review: prior to distribution ziv6-35-80-8-80 devices are subjected to a visual inspection and functional checks to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place at cirl.A review of the manufacturing records for ziv6-35-80-8-80 of lot number c1735302 did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to this complaint issue.The review of relevant manufacturing records confirms the failure mode has not previously occurred with the current lot number.Based on the information available to date, there is no evidence to suggest that there are any manufacturing issues associated with lot number c1735302.It should be noted that the instructions for use (ifu0043-9) states the following: ¿the zilver vascular stent is intended for use as an adjunct to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) in the treatment of symptomatic vascular disease of the iliac arteries up to 100 mm in length with a reference vessel diameter of 5 to 9 mm¿.As the ifu does not contain instructions for the placement of zilver 635 vascular self-expanding stents in a kissing fashion, this is considered off-label use.There is evidence to suggest the user did not follow the ifu.Image review: images were provided to support the complaint investigation.They were reviewed through cook research inc.(cri) and the following comments were provided by the independent reviewer: impression: 1.Although a zilver stent with an implanted length of at most 28.67mm is confirmed, the assertion that the stent was a ziv6-35-40-8-80 in a ziv6-35-80-8-80 package is not confirmed.2.It is much more likely that the stent was implanted concertinaed and or telescoped.It is possible given the loss of wire access that this occurred or was further exacerbated during attempted repeat cannulation.Findings consistent with either a severe concertinaed or telescoped stent cannot be distinguished from calcification on the provided imaging.3.During kissing stent implantation, both stents are positioned and adjusted under fluoroscopy before simultaneous deployment.This scrutiny would have rendered obvious any shorter than expected stent prior to deployment.4.A review of the literature failed to find peer reviewed data comparing kissing self-expanding stents, balloon expandable stents, covered stents, or a combination of stent types for this type of lesion.However, kissing self-expanding stenting of this heavily calcified long distal aorto-iliac stenosis with mound-like plaque would be an uncommon approach.The more common approach would be two balloon expandable kissing iliac stents with or without a covered or balloon expandable aortic stent.5.The heavily calcified plaque with persistent stenosis, the adjacent stent, and the left cia occlusion are risk factors for concertinaed deployment.Root cause review: a definitive root cause of the user not reading or following the ifu was identified from the available information.As the ifu does not contain instructions on the placement of these stents in a kissing fashion and as testing has not been undertaken using this deployment method, this is considered off-label use.It is not possible to determine how the device will function when used outside of its validated state.Summary: the complaint is confirmed based on customer testimony.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
