As reported, a 9mm x 40mm precise pro carotid self-expanding stent (ses) delivery system was implanted; however, when the physician retracted the unit, there was no distal tip on it.A non-cordis guiding catheter pushed the unknown filter and the distal tip of the precise pro was removed with the non-cordis guiding catheter.The stent was implanted.The device will be returned for evaluation.

Complaint conclusion: a precise pro 9mm x 40mm carotid self-expanding stent (ses) delivery system was implanted.However, when the physician retracted the unit, there was no distal tip on it.A non-cordis guiding catheter pushed the unknown filter and the distal tip of the precise pro was removed with the non-cordis guiding catheter.The stent was implanted.The device was returned for analysis.Per visual analysis, one non-sterile precise pro rx us carotid system was received for analysis inside a plastic bag.No original packaging was returned.A non-cordis embolic protection system and a non-cordis guiding catheter were received inside the same bag.The valve of the unit was received closed.Per visual analysis, the stent of the unit was observed deployed but was not received along the unit.The wire lumen was observed separated from the distal tip.Distal tip was observed inserted into the non-cordis embolic protection system received.An acceptable adhesive quantity was observed inside the tip¿s glue port.Nevertheless, due to the condition received of the tip, visual analysis couldn¿t determine if the correct amount of adhesive was applied through the entire section between the wire lumen and the tip.The hypo tube rod was observed bent as received.No other anomalies were observed.A product history record (phr) review of lot 17935173 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿catheter tip - separated - in patient¿ was confirmed since the distal tip was observed separated from the wire lumen.An acceptable adhesive quantity was observed inside the tip¿s glue port.Nevertheless, due to the condition received of the tip, visual analysis couldn¿t determine if the correct amount of adhesive was applied throughout the entire section between the wire lumen and the tip.After the physical evaluation of the unit, it was determined by the product engineer team that the tip separation was manufacturing related as the physical evaluation couldn¿t conclusively determine if the correct amount of adhesive was applied through the entire section between the wire lumen and the tip.According to the instructions for use, which is not intended as a mitigation of risk, ¿extract the stent delivery system from the tray.Examine the device for any damage.Evaluate the distal end of the catheter to ensure that the stent is contained within the outer sheath.Do not use if the stent is partially deployed.Note: if resistance is met during delivery system introduction, the system should be withdrawn and another system should be used.Note: if any resistance is met during delivery system withdrawal, advance the outer sheath until the outer sheath marker contacts the catheter tip and withdraw the system as one unit.¿ the product analysis suggests that the event experienced by the customer could be related to the manufacturing process.Therefore, a corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.
