Implanted date: device was not implanted.Explanted date: device was not explanted.The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.A review of the device history record and shipping inspection record of the involved product code/lot# combination was conducted with no findings.Ifu states: do not use in highly tortuous or highly calcified lesions and/or vessels proximal to the lesion which could prevent proper pre-dilatation by rolling back the thumb wheel (to spool the traction wires connected to the sliding part), the sliding part is pulled in the proximal direction and the stent starts to get self-expanded.It is likely that the sliding part (stent-mounted part) of the actual sample might have been trapped due to some factors, such as a highly stenosed or tortuous part of the lesion, and resistance was generated when the sliding part in that trapped was being pulled; therefore the thumbwheel could not rotate as in the usual way.However, with no device return the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.(b)(4).
