H10: manufacturing review: a review of manufacturing records was not performed, as additional complaints have not been reported for this lot.Based on the information available it is not reasonably suggested that a manufacturing process may have caused or contributed to the reported issue.However, the lot history records of this lot were reviewed with special attention to the manufacturing and inspection of this product and the product was found to have met the specification prior to shipment.Investigation summary: the stent was not returned for evaluation as it remains implanted.No x-ray images were provided for evaluation.It was noted that stenosis occurred in the access circuit, pre dilation as well as post dilation was performed; there was no report of any irregularities or complication during initial stent placement.Based on the information available the investigation is closed with inconclusive result.A definite root cause for the reported event could not be determined.Labeling review: in reviewing the relevant labeling for this product, it was found that the instructions for use sufficiently address the potential risk.Based on the instructions for use complications and adverse events associated with the use of the covera plus vascular covered stent may include the usual complications associated with endovascular stent and covered stent placement and dialysis shunt revisions, which includes restenosis of the target vessel.Regarding pre and post dilation the instructions for use states: "pre-dilate the stenosis with a pta balloon catheter of appropriate length and diameter for the lesion to be treated" and "post dilate the covered stent with an angioplasty balloon sized appropriately as to ensure complete wall apposition to the reference vessel.Avoid balloon dilation in the healthy, non-stenosed segment of the vessel." h11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
